Man Hits Milestone 28th Arrest A man from South Kingstown has probably experienced more arrests than some first-year police officers after he was nabbed for his 28th — yes, 28th — arrest this week. For his 28th, the 47-year-old man went all out with a felony charge of possession of crack cocaine. As for his other 27 arrests, the man seems to like diversity. He’s been charged with drug crimes, receiving stolen goods, disorderly conduct, assault and property destruction, to name a few. In 1999, he even had a charge of attempting to escape from a correctional facility. For now, he’s been ordered to serve an 18-month suspended sentence and 18 months of probation, as well as substance abuse counseling. …Not To Be Upstaged Speaking of repeat …

No Fan of Pedestrians One Woonsocket man seemed to have an issue grasping the concept of “right of way” and “pedestrians in crosswalks” prior to his arrest last week. The 20-year-old man allegedly let out some road rage after the driver in front of him let two women across the crosswalk and began honking his horn at the man. When several youths entered the crosswalk and the other driver allowed them to cross, too, the man allegedly began honking, flipping off the other driver and swearing. The two men got out of their cars, at which point the road raging driver whipped a pipe out of his car and allegedly hit the man on the head. He was charged with felony assault.

As Seen on TV: Dancing Field Sobriety Test A North Kingstown man doesn’t fancy himself much of a dancer, according to reports. The 40-year-old man was pulled over for speeding and suspected of driving under the influence, prompting officers to ask him to take a field sobriety test. During one of the test’s components, the man allegedly told officers, “I don’t think I could ever do that dance. I’ve seen it done on TV.” The component in question really wasn’t much of a dance, however. Known as the “walk and turn,” the component requires a person to walk in a straight line and then turn. After reportedly failing the test/dance, police brought the man to headquarters, where he allegedly continued to chastise officers. He told one officer, “…

Man Sets Ex-Girlfriend’s Car on Fire Love’s eternal flame may have fizzled out for this couple, but that didn’t mean the fire was out of the picture. After an apparently bad breakup, one Bradford man decided to get back at his ex-girlfriend by showing up at her work and telling her he had lit her car on fire. One of her coworkers went outside to check and discovered the man was not bluffing. A female North Kingstown officer found the man walking down the road and, after a brief struggle, was able to subdue him and get him in handcuffs. While in the patrol car, he allegedly asked the officers to drive him by the car so he “could make sure it was worth it.” A Bit too Proud of One’s Heritage No matter how Irish you are, .08 is still .08 …

Truly A Man’s Best Friend One Boston man’s decision to settle an argument with a golf club turned out badly when the victim’s dog had a different agenda. The man was embroiled in an argument with two Woonsocket men last week at a party when he grabbed a golf club and allegedly hit both men in the head.
