Take a look at some of the more compelling police reports from around the state. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.
Cocaine-Induced Outburst of Expression When police pulled over a car without a front license plate, they probably expected nothing more than a routine traffic stop.

Take a look at some of the more unusual police reports from around the state.

From one police log covering just three days… A Coventry driver was charged with drunken driving after sideswiping a car, although he told police he hadn’t had a drink in 14 years.

A bunch of other cars have been broken into, and finally, a South Kingstown woman was arrested for reckless driving – with her daughter in the car – when police clocked her at 68 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone. DCYF was notified. Well, you’re not running for re-election anyway… According to East Greenwich police …
