OMG PD

Double Crack Entendres and Edward Knifehands

Edward Knifehands & the Case of the Stolen Sneakers

One Woonsocket man wanted to make sure others knew he was serious about his accusations that someone had stolen his shoes. What better way than with knives?

The 20-year-old man accused a woman of stealing his sneakers, causing her to leave the apartment building to avoid confrontation. That only exacerbated the situation as the man ran back after her, carrying a handful of knives he had found in his kitchen cabinet.

He reportedly began swinging the knives in the air as he followed her and even stabbed the side of the building before running back inside. He was arrested on domestic assault with a deadly weapon (a felony) and domestic disorderly conduct.

Wait, Which Kind of Crack?

Fans of homonyms will love this police report out of East Providence. You ready for this? It all started when police arrived at the 37-year-old man’s home and saw his crack – as in he was standing in the home’s basement butt naked. According to reports, he was acting oddly and staring at a wall.

The man’s grandmother had called police after she believed there was an intruder in the house. Then, officers found his crack. (The other kind of crack.) Officers allegedly found a crack pipe and cocaine in the basement, and arrested the man on charges of possession.

I Know My APH’s

How long does it take to be considered a local? For one 23-year-old woman, apparently four years is not enough. Police in Newport pulled over the woman who ran a red light and appeared to be under the influence. The woman contended that her poor driving was not due to intoxication and told police, “I’m not from here. I don’t know anything about Newport.”


Immediately after that, she told police she had lived in Newport since 2009. After she handed officers her business card instead of her registration and thought that “P” and “H” were the second and third letters in the alphabet, police decided to arrest her on DUI charges. Even though she allegedly told officers she had nothing to drink that night, her BAC registered at .194 and .191.
