Moving Day Mayhem, Foot in the Windshield
No Bad
Deed Goes Unpunished
A Cranston man tried to be a good Samaritan this week
after returning a purse he found at Stop & Shop on Atwood Avenue. And by
“found,” he really meant “stole.”
According to police, the 26-year-old man stole a
purse from a woman at the grocery store and fled. The victim was injured in the pursuit after being
dragged by the man’s car, leaving her with broken bones, cuts, bruises and road
rash.
Whether it was the guilt that got the better of him or
not, the man walked back into the store shortly after and tried to return the
purse, saying that he had found it. (He allegedly didn’t feel too guilty, as he
allegedly kept the $20 inside before returning it.) The man was captured and
subsequently arrested.
It’s
Always in the Last Place You Look
One pants-less fugitive is probably hoping he had thrown
on some duds before police barged into his apartment. When police arrived at
the home of a 27-year-old Woonsocket
man with six outstanding warrants, officers found the man wearing only his
boxers.
According to reports, officers had to force open the door
as the man was leaning against it to keep them out of his bedroom. The officer
tasked with finding the man some clothes must have had a sixth sense: according
to reports, the pair of pants he chose for the suspect to wear to the police
department contained a bag of marijuana.
The pot discovery added a misdemeanor charge of
possession to the man’s list of charges that day – including resisting arrest.
Putting
Your Best Foot Forward (And Through a Windshield?)
One man may have taken his parents’
advice to put his best foot forward a bit too seriously. According to
Portsmouth police, a Massachusetts man
allegedly became angry with his female driver after an argument and kicked the
vehicle’s windshield –breaking it
with his foot.
The rage didn’t stop there apparently, as the man
proceeded to throw the woman’s cell phone out the window, rip off the rearview
mirror and assault the woman. He is charged with domestic vandalism and
domestic assault.
Moving
Day Mayhem
One North Kingstown teen wouldn’t take no for an answer
after her friend told her he was moving out of her apartment. According to the
victim, the 18-year-old woman smashed
his television as he was trying to
move out and kicked him in the back as he carried an air conditioner down a
flight of stairs.
As he tried to leave, the woman allegedly began to beat
his car with a metal folding chair. The air conditioner made a return
appearance as the teen used it as a projectile and threw it as the back of the
man’s car.
She is charged with domestic assault, domestic disorderly
conduct and domestic vandalism.
