Barrington police inundated with fireworks complaints
The Fourth of July is a celebration often marked with fireworks, but in Barrington (and likely in other towns also) the fireworks started more than a day before the holiday and continued on past the Fourth.
People began calling into the police station on Thursday, July 2, filing complaints about loud fireworks and were still calling in on Sunday night — well-past Independence Day.
On Thursday, the police department fielded complaints from residents on Washington Road, Sowams Road and Linden Road, while on Friday the calls expanded to folks on Whipple Avenue also.
On Saturday, July 4, residents on Sowams, Pleasant Street, Vineland Drive, Ocean Avenue, Maple Avenue, Mathewson Road, Barrington Avenue, Grassy Plain Road, Greenbrier Drive, Roffee Street, College Lane, Anchorage Way, Washington Road, and Clarke Road called police about loud fireworks. (There were numerous calls on Vineland Drive.)
On Sunday, loud fireworks in the area of Sowams Road and Barrington Beach yielded calls to the police.
During all the reported incidents, no one was charged.
