A Family-Themed Breaking-and-Entering
When breaking into one of your properties without
giving your tenant proper notice, it’s always great to take the kids along. It all began when the 38-year-old landlord
called his tenant at 5 a.m. and allegedly told her to move out so he
could move back in. (FYI: Rhode Island law states that tenants must be given a
warning a month in advance of eviction.)
Fast & Furious: EP Style?
East Providence seems to have a speed demon who apparently
doesn’t care for speed limits or other signs, including ones that say “Illegal
to pass when red lights are flashing.” The 23-year-old
man was allegedly driving his Honda motorcycle recklessly through the area,
driving past a school bus that was dropping off children, and hitting speeds of
85 mph in a 25 mph zone.
An officer finally caught up to him soon after he allegedly
sideswiped a car and then crashed to the ground. According to Speedy Gonzalez,
he wasn’t speeding intentionally, telling officers that the throttle on his
bike was stuck.
He faces charges of reckless driving, eluding an officer with a
motor vehicle at a high rate of speed, speeding, failing to maintain control of
his vehicle, running a red light, failing to stop for a school bus and driving
left of center when he roared past the school bus
Alleged DUI Drive Hits Cop
One Smithfield woman hit the trio of bad
life choices last week.
Strike one: the 23-year-old woman was reportedly intoxicated while driving down
I-295. Strike two: she crashed her car in an area where constructions crews
were working. Rounding out the trifecta is strike three – what the woman
crashed into.
According to a release from the State Police, she crashed her
car into a trooper’s cruiser that was on detail at the construction site,
knocking him unconscious. The trooper was brought to Rhode Island Hospital,
where he is recovering, while the woman was put through a series of field
sobriety tests, which she allegedly failed.
