VANDALISM

On Dec. 3 at 10:58 a.m., Officer Michael Walker responded to the Sparrow Point III property at 355 Hardig Road for the report of a vandalism.

Upon arrival, Walker spoke with the office manager, who said when she came to work that day at approximately 8:30 a.m., she discovered the inner entry door glass on the C / D side of the building was smashed. After she checked the security cameras, she said the damage was done on the previous night at 10:45. At that time, she observed a male and female who do not reside at the property come into the foyer area of the building and it appeared they were in an argument. She said the male half entered the locked security door into the building, leaving the female out in the foyer area. It appeared the female was angry and upset, as she kicked the bottom half of the inner security door glass causing it to break. Moments after, she said the man returned and let the woman into the apartment building hallway and from there they went to the elevator, but it was unclear what floor or apartment they went to. She told Walker the two subjects were not familiar to the staff and it was believed they are not residents.

Walker said the manager was going to make a copy of the surveillance footage on a disk for evidence. He said the staff at Sparrow Point III would attempt to verify the subjects from residents who may have seen them in the past and press charges if the suspect is found.

VEHICLE THEFT

On Dec. 5 at 12:17 p.m., Officers DiNardo and Jacob Elderkin were dispatched to Seasons Corner Market, 2128 Elmwood Avenue, for the report of a vehicle theft in progress.

Upon arrival, Elderkin responded straight to the location while DiNardo checked the area. Elderkin met with the reporting party, who said he had pulled into the gas pump and parked at Pump No. 9 around 12:10. He walked inside and came out less than two minutes later and saw that his vehicle was gone. The vehicle was described as a silver 2002 Toyota Solara with a dented hood and black scrapes on the rear driver’s side of the vehicle. He said the vehicle had two plates on it at the time of theft and that the keys were left in the ignition, with the vehicle running, as he was just planning to run inside and purchase a case of water.

Elderkin said the security surveillance showed a white male wearing a hoodie and a red hat jumping into the vehicle and driving away. While difficult to tell from the camera angle, he said it appears the vehicle made a right-hand turn out of the parking lot, heading down Elmwood Avenue toward Cranston. He said the vehicle was entered as stolen and all information was immediately put out over intercity, and Cranston Police were advised of the situation, along with R.I. State Police.

Elderkin said it should be noted that Sergeant Johnston arrived on scene, along with District 1 Detectives, and met with management to review the security footage and make arrangements to copy the video surveillance. A report was taken to document the incident. The victim said he would like to press charges if the vehicle is located.

STOLEN VEHICLE PARTS

On Dec. 7 at 7:16 p.m., Officer Aaron Kay was dispatched to the intersection of Gavel Avenue and Brook Street for the report of a red truck left in the street with Massachusetts registration plates. The reporting party thought it was suspicious because the window was down and the door handle was broken off.

Upon arriving in the area, Kay said he located a red Ford F-250 parked on Brook Street, just in from Post Road on the south side of the roadway. Upon running the plate, Kay said it came back as reported stolen on the current date in Franklin, Mass. After verifying the VIN matched the vehicle on scene, Dispatch confirmed it was still reported stolen with the Franklin Police Department. It was noted the truck reported stolen had a six-foot Fisher snowplow on the front of it, however Kay said the truck on scene had the snowplow attachments on the frame, but it was missing the entire snowplow. He said the driver side door handle was broken off, the driver side window was smashed out and a jacket was put over the seat to cover up the broken glass. The ignition had also been broken and removed. Kay said he could see damage to the ignition portion inside of the steering column.

At that time, Kay spoke with the reporting party, who said he saw the vehicle there earlier that morning and spoke with a neighbor from Crossing Court. The reporting party said he did not see anyone but that he noticed the vehicle parked there and called it in later in the day as it was still there.

Kay said he spoke with the neighbor on Crossing Court, who said she noticed the vehicle there at approximately 5 a.m., but she did not see anyone around the vehicle. Kay said both parties denied seeing any type of snowplow on the vehicle at any point in time. He said City Towing towed the vehicle from the area and the Franklin Police Department was advised and the stolen vehicle was removed from the system. Franklin Police said they would notify the registered owner that the vehicle was towed. No suspects.

MARIJUANA

On Dec. 3 at 11:21 p.m., Officer Daniel DiMaio was traveling eastbound on Greenwood Bridge, 2700 Post Road, when he observed a vehicle to be parked in the middle of the intersection that allows vehicles to turn eastbound onto Post Road from Main Avenue. Standing outside the vehicle were two individuals, one of which was later identified as Kyle A. Lillie, 22, of 163 Bartlett Avenue, Cranston.

DiMaio said the second individuals provided a written statement, in which he explained he pulled up to the stoplight and saw that the driver (Lillie) was passed out in his vehicle. He said helped Lillie out of the vehicle and took his keys so he wouldn’t drive off.

DiMaio said he then spoke with Lillie, who indicated he was driving home after a long day and he was tired. When he was questioned, he said he’d had one beer at his friend’s house. Lillie was then taken to an area clear of debris and given a series of standardized field sobriety tests, which he passed.

During the investigation, DiMaio said it was discovered that approximately one ounce of marijuana was located inside Lillie’s vehicle, which was tagged and placed into the BCI mailbox. Lillie was issued a violation for possession of marijuana one ounce or less, with a mandatory Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal court date. He was also issued a violation for places where parking/stopping prohibited, which is an $85 pay-by-mail fine or a municipal court date.

Due to the circumstances of falling asleep at the wheel, DiMaio said Lillie arranged for a ride home.
