Woman Accuses Officer of Being Member of IRA
Yup, you read that
right. In Newport last week, police tried to help a woman who was reportedly
drunk and crying outside the Hotel Viking. As they tried to help her call for a
ride, she became agitated.
Apparently, the best
insult the 42-year-old woman could dish out was to accuse the
officer of being a member of the Irish Republican Army. Though
it’s not necessarily a good thing to be accused of, I’m sure he’s heard far
worse.
You’re Not in Massachusetts Anymore, Dorothy
After she failed her
sobriety test, police brought her to the Woonsocket Police station for
processing…which probably
came as quite a shock to the 29-year-old woman who thought she was in Mendon,
MA. I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt on this one and assume
she was using Apple Maps.
A Likely Story
Whether it’s the
police, the rental car company or even this Patch editor, not many people are
buying the story allegedly concocted by a strip club
worker on how she magically found her “stolen” rental car.
In August, the
33-year-old woman failed to return her rental car by the return date, citing
that she had lent it to a friend but no longer knew who had the car. The woman
allegedly did not report the vehicle stolen and continued to evade the rental
car company, a warrant was issued for her arrest.
Coincidentally, a few
days after the warrant was issued, she “miraculously” located her car and
returned it to the rental company – but leaving her $500 bill unpaid. She’s
facing one count of obtaining a car with intent to defraud.
