Double Trouble Car Accidents, Arrests
They'll Never Find Me in the Boys' Room
Speaking of double
trouble, one Providence woman is in a bit of trouble after . The
26-year-old woman reportedly hit a traffic signal pole in Cranston before
leaving the scene, with both of her airbags deployed.
Then, it happened
again: the woman allegedly drove her car into an 18-wheeler truck. With her car
wedged underneath the truck, she fled from the scene and ran into a school.
Police said she locked herself in a boys’ bathroom stall and flushed something
down the toilet.
Stranger With Candy
You’d think with all
the jokes about how children shouldn't take candy from strangers that
no one in their right mind would attempt such a ploy.
Apparently, one man in
North Kingstown actually tried the candy trick when he offered a student a
lollipop. The child was a student at a local day care and was approached by an
older white man in a gray truck.
Luckily, a teacher
intercepted the candy and took the student back inside. The only thing that
could have made his ploy more cliché is if he had a crate full of
puppies and kittens in his truck as well.
The One-Uppers
Following last week’s
police logs from Newport, we’re starting to think there’s a competition we’re
not aware of. First, a 53-year-old man chalked up two arrests in as
many days after he was first arrested for disorderly conduct when he allegedly
started a fight in a barbershop.
The following day, he
came into the police station and began to fight officers. Not to be outdone. He
was cited at 1:59 a.m. outside a pizza joint for drinking in public.
Less than 8 hours later, he was cited again for – wait for it – drinking in
public.
New Paint Jobs: Only
$50
Warning; this story
definitely pegs the dumb-o-meter. It all started when a Portsmouth teen
reported his bike stolen and put up reward notices in his neighborhood. Soon
after, he was approached by a 54-year-old man who claimed he had located the
bike and had to pay another man $50 to get it back.
When the man showed up
to the victim’s home with the bike (at the completely reasonable time
of 1:45 a.m.), he allegedly wanted the $50 for the bike.
The teen eventually
gave the man $10 for the bike, but then called police. At the man’s house,
police allegedly found silver spray paint on his rug and the outline of a
bicycle. He was charged with larceny and vandalism.
