Big Night Planned
No Hard Feelings
It’s bad enough to get arrested for stealing from your
workplace. It’s far worse to be caught stealing an item that has become the
butt of many comedians’ jokes.
A Rite Aid pharmacist, who seemingly couldn’t decide on which
brand to go with, allegedly was caught stealing two pills of Viagra, two
of Cialis and two of Levitra. All three are commonly used to treat
erectile dysfunction.
The pharmacist, who later told authorities he didn’t think it was a “big deal,” was surprised when things escalated and the police were called. He was charged with embezzlement of under $100.
Hammer Time
A Newport man scored a twofer against police this week
when he allegedly filed a fake police report and threatened
to kill an officer.
Police arrived at the man’s house after he called 911, stating that his
girlfriend had stabbed him in the chest.
A witness stated that, after the man made the call, he
reportedly sat down on his couch with a hammer and said he’d kill any officer
that entered his apartment. He was charged with violating a no-contact order,
domestic vandalism and cyberstalking charges.
Maybe If I Close My Eyes This Will All Go
Away?
One Narragansett man had an odd way of interacting with police
and rescue personnel last week. The 21-year-old man’s troubles began after he crashed his car and injured himself. Perhaps he thought that if he looked them in
the eye he’d turn to stone, but for whatever reason the man kept his eyes
closed during all of questioning.
When paramedics came to help treat the man for his injuries, he
suddenly came out of his catatonic state and began to attack them, according to
reports. Police soon determined what the cause of the strange behavior was when
the man allegedly fessed up to drinking 10 alcohol beverages and smoking
marijuana that night.
The Grass Is Always Greener (and Unmowed) On
the Other Side
We don’t imagine these two East Greenwich neighbors will be
having a joint barbecue any time soon. Police responded to one of the neighbors
following a complaint that her neighbor did not mow his lawn “in a timely manner.”
Miffed that she went to the police (and possibly that she
slighted his lawn care practices), the man with the reported unruly yard
allegedly sent her a letter stating, “I can be a great neighbor and friend or I
can be a nightmare.”
