Egg Attack, Condiments on the Side (of Car)
Scrambled
or Over-Easy?
A shoplifter that fled the Garfield
Avenue Stop and Shop was so upset after getting pulled over near the scene, she
allegedly threw a broken carton of eggs at Cranston Police Officer Ryan
Dimbleby, police said.
Police said Angela M. Ferrer, 41, of 118
Prudence St., Providence, allegedly stole about $43 worth of groceries from the
supermarket.
Store security officers said they watched
Ferrer conceal items from the shelves in her carriage, and when she passed
through the check-out line, handed the cashier a bag of produce that she no
longer wanted.
She then allegedly left the store without
paying for the concealed items, at which point she was stopped out front by
security.
Police said Ferrer told the guard that
she would fight him. She left the scene in her Jeep Cherokee. Police stopped
her in front of the Sanford Brown Institute on Garfield Ave.
Police said Ferrer refused to comply with
Officer Dimbleby’s commands to get out of the vehicle. When he approached, she
allegedly threw a carton of eggs at him, screaming and yelling “in a
belligerent manner.”
Ferrer allegedly tried to fight off
officers and it took several cops to restrain her.
Ferrer was charged with shoplifting and
resisting arrest. She is being held as a bail violator from a previous
shoplifting charge.
He
Must Have Been In a Hurry

21, of Fall River, on Aug. 4 at 11:30 a.m. after he allegedly left the scene of
two accidents in Portsmouth and Middletown.
Police first received a report of a minor
motor vehicle crash on West Main Road at Mill Lane in Portsmouth. The vehicle,

Maybe
He Should Have Arrested Himself
Edward Garofalo, 44, of 60 Warner St.,
Newport, was arrested around noon on Aug. 8, for a threats charge.
According to reports, police responded to
the Broadway post office for Garofalo making threats to an employee. The woman
told police Garofalo was upset that he could not receive mail from his P.O. Box
because his account was overdue.
Garofalo reportedly told the employee, “I
better not see you on the street. If I do you will be sorry.”
When approached by police, Garofalo held
up a gold badge and said, “You can't mess with me, I'm a police
officer.” He later reportedly admitted the badge was a fake, and police
found it with Garofalo's son, who was with him during the incident.
The badge read “Special Police” from the
Department of Inspections and Standards and had a City of Providence seal.
Reports said the badge appeared to be a
city-anointed badge.
Rockin' Out
Cranston Police summoned a Cranston
Street man for violating the city’s noise ordinance July 27 after he allegedly
blasted music so loud, it could be heard outside as far as 200 feet away.

Cranston St., turned the music down after officers knocked on his door around
7:30 p.m. But as officers were leaving, they heard the music crank back up
