MISSING MONEY

Officer Osvaldo Monteiro responded to Gillolly Drive at approximately 9:52 a.m. on March 27 regarding a larceny from a vehicle that occurred sometime overnight. Monteiro met with a woman who said sometime during the night someone entered her unlocked vehicle, which was parked in her driveway. She said her backpack was located in the front passenger seat area and someone removed her Louis Vuitton wristlet/wallet, which had contained $2,105. The woman said she had just withdrawn the money from her bank on the previous day for a money order but she forgot to bring the backpack into her home. Also located within the wristlet/wallet were her R.I. driver’s license and three credit cards. The woman told Monteiro she contacted the respective banks and informed them of the stolen credit cards. No suspects or witnesses.

TOOLS TAKEN

Officer Christian Vargas was dispatched to Fairfax Drive at 5:15 p.m. on March 30 for the report of a larceny from a motor vehicle. Vargas said he spoke with a man who said a break occurred over the weekend but he was not sure of the exact date. He said he last saw his tools on March 27, as he used them. He claimed he believed he had locked his vehicle and secured it throughout the weekend, but at 7 that morning, he noticed all of the tools that had been in the back seat of the passenger compartment of this truck were missing. He said there were numerous tools that he uses for his work as a tow truck operator. The tools were described as follows: a Snap-On brand in a red and black bag, numerous ratchets, wrenches, and socket sets, one 18 volt hasp and drive impact gun with two backup batteries, colored red and black, a 14 volt 3/8ths drive impact gun with two backup batteries, red and black, miscellaneous socket and hand tool ratchets, a small roll up bag of pliers and cutters, a tool case blue point, blue and gray, a hard case with 400-piece wrench, socket, ratchets, and two flashlights, both LED, one 18 volt and one 7.2 volt, Snap-On red and black, and possibly more. He estimated the value of all the tools at over $3,000. No witnesses or suspects.

SCRATCHED CAR

Officer Jason Brodeur was dispatched to the Trafalgar East Apartments on Post Road at approximately 6:04 p.m. on April 1 for the report of a malicious damage. Brodeur said he met with a man who said someone had damaged his vehicle. He pointed to a scratch on his vehicle, which ran from the rear passenger door to the front. The man said he parked the vehicle at 6 p.m. on March 31 and did not observe the damage until 3 p.m. on April 1. No suspects.

DUI

Officer Christopher Cote was parked near the intersection of West Shore Road. and Warwick Avenue at approximately 1:20 a.m. on March 29 when he observed a vehicle operating southbound on Warwick Ave. that did not have its headlights on. Cote said he began following the vehicle, which was traveling at a high rate of speed and swerving between travel lanes. Cote said he stopped the vehicle, which never turned its lights on, and approached the driver and asked for his license, registration and proof of insurance but the man was unable to locate the documents. When asked if he the man’s license was in his wallet, which Cote said he could see the man was sitting on, the man said it was and gave it to him but was still unable to produce the other documents. While speaking with the man, Cote said he observed his eyes to be bloodshot and watery, his movements were uncoordinated and he seemed to have difficulty concentrating on questions Cote asked him. Cote said he could also smell the faint odor of alcoholic beverages emanating from his breath, which Cote said was mostly overpowered by the smell of chewing gum the man was chewing. Cote said he asked the man if he would be willing to take a series of Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, which the man agreed to, but after administering the first test, the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus Test, which Cote said indicated impairment, the man said he did not want to take any more tests. Cote said it should be noted that the man was wearing bowling shoes and when asked why, he said he and his passenger had been bowling earlier and he forgot to take them off and left his shoes at the bowling alley. After calling for backup, Cote said he formed the opinion that the man was impaired and arrested Jared A. Rose, 23, of 30 Arthur Street, Warwick and transported to Warwick Police Department Headquarters. While en route, Cote said Dispatch advised him a witness called headquarters in reference to the vehicle that Rose was driving and Cote said he advised Dispatch to request the witness respond to headquarters. Upon arrival, Cote said Rose was allowed to make a private phone call before he was asked to submit to a breath test, which Rose refused. He was later photographed, finger-printed by the jailer and placed in a cell. Rose was charged with DUI/Drugs/Alcohol/1st Offense – B.A.C. Unknown, with a pending District Court hearing date, as well as Refusal to Submit to a Chemical Test (1st Offense), Operating a Motor Vehicle without Evidence of Insurance, and Times When Lights Required, and Laned Roadway Violations with a pending R.I. Traffic Tribunal hearing date. Rose was later released to his father. Cote said he met with the witness who told him she was driving southbound on Warwick Ave. when she saw a flash of lights in her rearview mirror and she looked up and saw a car with no headlights on speeding up behind her. The woman said she had had to pull into the right travel lane to avoid being hit and the vehicle swerved into the northbound travel lanes, “almost to the curb on the opposite side of the roadway” in the vicinity of Squantum Dr. She told Cote the vehicle was going very fast and could not stay within the lines of its travel lane. She also said she observed the vehicle stop at the light to go straight at the intersection of Warwick Ave. and West Shore Rd. and while stopped saw the driver’s side door open and the driver fall partly out of the vehicle into the street before getting back in and continuing to drive through the intersection. Cote said the woman described the vehicle as a maroon Cadillac with a smashed trunk and said it should be noted that the vehicle Rose was driving was a maroon Cadillac with a smashed-in trunk.
