Teacher Can Count to Five (Misdemeanor
Charges)
We’re guessing this Providence teacher doesn’t
specialize in criminal justice. A 49-year-old teacher was
arrested in North Kingstown last weekend after making a scene at Seven Moons
restaurant while allegedly intoxicated. Police arrived at the restaurant after another patron called
about a drunk woman who had fallen off her bar stool and hit her head.
Officers arrived and were greeted by the reportedly belligerent and intoxicated teacher, who was friends with the injured woman. According to reports, she began to curse and yell at police. When officers tried to move her to another part of the restaurant, she allegedly yelled, "[Expletive] you, my brother's a cop."
When police tried placing her under arrest,
she began to spin around to avoid handcuffs. Officers had to use two sets of
handcuffs. Once in handcuffs, she reportedly yelled, “I’m going to kill all you
cops” while kicking the inside of the police cruiser.
Things didn’t get easier for officers once
they got the woman to the police station as they had to drag her out of the
patrol car. Once out of the car, the woman allegedly let her body go limp and
began to fall forward, prompting one officer to lunge forward to stop her from
hitting the ground.
In the process, the officer struck his head on
a cement wall and sustained concussion. All in all, she racked up five charges
– including two assault charges for injuring two officers.
One Theft Leads to Another
Four Massachusetts residents allegedly hatched
a plan to make some dough this week by selling stolen meats. However, to get said meats, the
quartet apparently had to steal something else – a car. According to East Providence police,
officers discovered that a black Lexus driving on Interstate 195 was in fact
stolen, and cornered the car at a gas station.
After searching the car, police reportedly
found nearly $700 worth of meats (including tenderloins, roasts, steak, a rack
of lamb, etc.), which the group reportedly admitted they stole with the intent
of selling. Completing the trifecta of illegal activity, officers allegedly
found a syringe and heroin in the car.
You’ve Got Some Red on You
One Newport man was caught
red-shirted this week in Middletown after a reported stabbing at a local bar. When police arrived at the bar, they found
the 30-year-old man at the bar with a bloody shirt. According to the man, the
blood on his shirt was from a bloody nose – though police noted that the man’s
nose did not appear to be bleeding.
According to reports, the fight began between
the victim and the stabber outside the bar. A third man allegedly held the
victim while the other man stabbed him. According to the third man, he thought
the other man was just punching until he saw the knife on the final stab.
Officers found the victim behind a Dunkin
Donuts with multiple stab wounds. Police recovered the knife reportedly used in
the assault nearby after witnesses told officers the stabber had thrown the
knife over a fence into a parking lot. Before discarding the knife, the alleged
assailant reportedly went to the Hess Station, bought a cigar and returned to
the bar.
