Seaside Shenanigans
#SummerProblems
As we transition to
the Rhode Island summer mindset, many of us are retraining our brains to be
more cognizant of where to load up on ice cream and Del’s, how to expertly
avoid beach traffic … and how to hide that you’re checking out beach bodies
from your significant other.
A 21-year-old Providence woman allegedly caught her
boyfriend checking out her friends at the beach and reportedly assaulted him for his wandering eyes. According to
reports, the boyfriend was sporting a few fresh scratches as well as a
handprint across his face. She was charged with domestic simple assault.
Improper Beach Etiquette
Lesson 1: don’t ogle
at bikini-clad women — unless maybe if you have chrome-lensed sunglasses — but
that’s still poor form.
Lesson 2: if you have
to urinate at the beach, use the facilities to do your business, or at least
the ocean. Do not urinate in public, especially
in front of children, like this guy reportedly did.
While at Bailey’s
Beach East in Newport, a 32-year-old man allegedly urinated in front of two
small children who were sitting on a blanket. Officers didn’t have to explain
it to him: The man reportedly told police, “I know that was stupid.”
Shaken, Not Stirred
One Cranston officer
was “shaken up,” courtesy of the questionable antics of a
20-year-old Cranston man. During a downpour, the man and his friend spotted the police
cruiser parked on the street.
Apparently, the man
needed a little more of a hands-on experience with the cruiser and allegedly
began to push up and down on the trunk. Though this action is ill-advised on
its own, it was exacerbated by the fact that the man did not properly assess
his surroundings.
Had he investigated
the situation further, he might have noticed that there was a police officer
inside the cruiser. When the officer stepped out of the car, the man was
allegedly surprised and responded with, “Oh [expletive],” before running away.
The officer caught up
to him at his apartment and placed him under arrest for disorderly conduct.
