OMGPD: Belligerent and Nude

Here's a look at some of the more compelling police reports from around the state.

Naked Man Calls Officer ‘Honky Racist’ Middletown police had their hands full from the get-go with one arrest last week. Police pulled the man over and asked him to exit his car after they reportedly smelled marijuana. Apparently, the man didn’t quite understand the new marijuana decriminalization laws and began yelling, “Marijuana is legal now. Why you being aggressive? This is ‘cause I’m black.” He allegedly refused to cooperate with police, calling them racists and reiterating that he was a grown man. Things didn’t settle down once they got the man in handcuffs in the police cruiser as he began banging his head against the window while swearing and yelling. If you thought he’d be calmer in his cell at the police station, well, you’re …

  Teacher Can Count to Five (Misdemeanor Charges) We’re guessing this Providence teacher doesn’t specialize in criminal justice.

Take a look at some of the more intriguing police reports from around the state. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.

  Starting The New Year in the Wrong Direction One Pawtucket man has started off 2013 in the wrong direction – literally. At about 1:54 a.m. on New Year’s Day, police pulled over the 27-year-old man after he was spotted driving the wrong way on a Woonsocket street. The man said he was unfamiliar with the roads, but police believe there was another factor in his poor sense of direction after they reportedly smelled alcohol on his breath and noticed his eyes were bloodshot and watery. Oh, and the beer bottles on the floor of his car didn’t help his case either. He allegedly failed his field sobriety test.   A New Definition of ‘Pop’ Patience is a virtue that one Woonsocket woman hasn’t learned yet. Police received several calls of a woman …

OMGPD: You Wouldn't Like Him When He's Angry, or On Coke

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. That assumption was thrown out the window when the driver reportedly ripped off his shirt and burst out of his car. Police believed that this outburst of expression was likely caused by cocaine, as they found a dollar bill with a white, powdery substance on the floor of his car. Their beliefs were further solidified when the driver allegedly admitted to snorting cocaine with a friend earlier that day. No drugs were found in the car following a sweep by the Johnston Police Department’s K-9 unit, but officers did allegedly find a knuckle knife. The man was charged with …

  Man Blames Mystery Mechanic For Accident Many children pin blame on their imaginary friends. One Woonsocket man nearly did the same – blaming a hit-and-run accident on an imaginary mechanic. According to reports, the 27-year-old man had sideswiped a car earlier in the day and left the scene. When officers confronted the man about the accident, he told them his mechanic named “Miguel” was driving the vehicle earlier in the day and was trying to set him up.  Furthering police’s suspicions, the man was unable to provide Miguel’s last name, address or phone number.
