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

  Head-Banger Brings Act to Bristol PD Bristol Police reported that a Tiverton woman didn't take too kindly to her arrest for two counts of assault — while in the holding cell, police say the woman took off her clothing and slammed her head against the wall. The Bristol charges weren't the woman's only legal issues, according to online court records. She's also awaiting trial on a felony drug possession charge brought by Newport Police. Bikini-Clad Man Arrested in NK It’s a story every guy can relate to: your favorite bikini is dirty and you have nothing to wear except a girls size 10 bikini that you just happen to have in your possession. Ok, maybe not every guy, but at least one man from North Kingstown had this problem last week. The 54…

OMGPD: Drunk Dancing

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

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, “…

OMG PD: Burning Love, Luck of the Irish?

Take a look at some of the most compelling police reports form around the state. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.

  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 …

OMG PD: Drive-through Don Juan

Check out some of the more compelling police reports from around the state. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.

  Not That Kind of Tip Dunkin’ Donuts employees appreciate tips, but we’re guessing they didn’t appreciate this one. According to reports, a 46-year-old Cranston man exposed himself to an employee at the store’s drive-through as he paid for his order. He drove off, but employees were able to get the man’s license plate number. He turned himself into East Providence police shortly after. According to records, this isn’t the first time he’s shown the full monty. Back in the 1990s, he was also charged with indecent exposure. Quit While You’re Ahead The concept of “cutting your losses” appears to have been lost on one Woonsocket man last week during his stay in a Woonsocket jail cell. Police initially arrested the man for driving on a …

We compile the more peculiar police reports from around the state.

  (Un)lucky Number 84 The luck of the Irish was not with the 84 people arrested at this year’s St. Patrick’s Day celebration in Newport.

According to Newport police, 37 people were cited with possession of alcohol in public while 31 minors were charged with possession of alcohol. Fourteen more were charged with disorderly conduct with eight arrested on assault charges. Last, but not least, only two people were charged with urinating in public.  Caught Red-Handed...

He was reportedly looking for someone…

OMG PD: Piss Drunk, Red Bull & An 'Itchy' Area

We compile the "oh my gosh" worthy stories from around the region, led by a pair from the Bristol-Warren area.

  Piss Drunk Ever laughed so hard you peed…in an elevator? One Massachusetts woman can now add that to her list of life accomplishments following her arrest in East Providence last week. Police arrived at a hotel after receiving a call about a disturbance, finding the 22-year-old woman and her 21-year-old friend at the scene. Employees told police that the 22-year-old woman had urinated in the hotel’s elevator. When asked what prompted her to do number one in the elevator, the woman allegedly told police that her friend had “told her a funny joke that made her urinate onto the floor.” Both women were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct.

OMG PD: Axe Attack, Good Dog

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

  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. That’s when the victim’s pit bull intervened and attacked the man, biting his calf, hand and chin. (Check out the mug shot to the right if you don’t believe us.) The dog’s owner was seriously injured in the attack while the victim sustained life-threatening injuries. He is facing two felony assault charges. Police released the dog to the owner, citing that the dog “acted as anyone would expect their dog to” during an attack. The dog was …

  Teens and Adults RSVP to Facebook Fight One 17-year-old boy now has an interesting life event to add to his Facebook timeline after would-be fight turned into a real-life car chase. According to the Portsmouth Police Department, two teens decided to plan a fight at the park, organizing it on Facebook. (No word yet on whether they created a Facebook event out of the fight.) While the 17-year-old boy brought along two teenaged friends (15 and 16 years of age), the other boy brought two adults (aged 34 and 38). One of the adults appeared to be very serious about the fight and allegedly had a baseball bat. The teen boy left with his friends, but the adults reportedly followed.

OMG PD: Not Just 'Playing Possum,' Blue Cab Company?

Check out some of the stranger police reports from around Rhode Island. Where an arrest is noted, it does not indicate a conviction.

  It Wasn't Just Playing Possum Bristol Police sorted out a confusing situation for a resident who found a dead opossum in her yard — seems that the woman was first told to place the dead animal in a trash bag and dispose of it, then told not to. The responding officer called HQ, which assigned the town's animal control officer to pick up the deceased beast. You Booze and Snooze, You Lose A Bristol resident had a rude awakening, of sorts, when she awoke to find a drunk man asleep in her house. Police responded and called the local rescue to bring the man — who'd crashed at the wrong pad — to the hospital for treatment. The caller declined to press charges. So We're a Taxi Service, Too?

  Going 'Hazzard' on the Hazard Truck With a guilty plea in Providence Superior Court, the case of a former Bristol volunteer firefighter who stole a special hazards vehicle and crashed it came to an end this week. The man admitted that he'd been drunk when he took the vehicle from a fire company garage, flipped it over after driving through town, and tried to run from the scene before his arrest by Bristol Police. He was sentenced to three one-year suspended sentences, a five-year deferred sentence, 500 hours of community service, $110,000 in restitution — and an apology letter to the Bristol Fire Department.
