Posted

The following is the Warren Police Department weekly arrest blotter:

Tuesday, Oct. 13
William Raposa, 37 and of Bristol, was arrested after officers were dispatched to a residence on Ridgeway Drive for an intoxicated male at approximately 10 p.m. The male identified as Raposa, had two outstanding Hold Without Bail warrants for his arrest and was taken into custody. Raposa was then transported to Rhode Island Hospital for evaluation.

Thursday, Oct. 15
Everett James, 25 and of Warren, was arrested after officers were dispatched to Martin Street for a disturbance inside of an apartment at approximately 9:53 a.m. After investigation, James was taken into custody and charged with Domestic Simple Assault and Domestic Disorderly Conduct. James was then transported to 2nd District Court for arraignment.

The following is compilation of the Warren Police Department weekly call log:

Thursday, Oct. 15
Police received a support of an alleged assault on a young male by four other juveniles on Campbell Street at about 5:17 p.m. The responding officer reported it appeared to be a one-time incident, some playful interaction with sticks that got a bit out of control. All of the youngsters were picked up by their parents. No injuries were reported and no further action was taken by law enforcement.

Officers responded to a call of an erratic driver on Metacom Avenue at about 12:17 p.m. This appeared to be a road rage incident, and the operators did not know one another. One of the motorists believed the other worked at Water Rower after the motorist turned into their lot and walked into the building. No violations were observed by the officer. One party was advised not to follow and confront other operators in the future. No further action was taken.

Tuesday, Oct. 13
Police were called to Veterans Field for a dispersal of a juvenile riding an e-bike on the running track while a Kickemuit School athletic event was taking place. Officers attempted to locate the youngster in the surrounding area, but were unable to issue a formal reprimand.

Officers were called to the scene of a disturbance on Davis Street at about 11:33 p.m. Male called the police and appeared to be having a mental health crisis. The person was transported to Roger Willams Hospital for further treatment.

Monday, Oct. 12
A caller reported an arrow shot out of a vehicle that hit a parked car on Water Street at about 6:30 p.m. The department does not consider either the owner of the vehicle or the suspect knows each other and the act appears to be random. The arrow was sent out to the department of health laboratory, awaiting the results of DNA testing. There are no suspects at this time, and the case is still under investigation.

At about 2:13 p.m., police received a call of e-bikes being aggressively ridden on the East Bay Bike Path near Beach Street. The alleged offenders were gone upon the arrival of officers.

Saturday, Oct. 10
Police were called to the Ocean State Job Lot store on Metacom Avenue at about 7:54 p.m. in response to allegation of shoplifting. The manager told an officer a male and female who had been seen shoplifting and had just re-entered the store. The store manager did not wish to pursue criminal charges, but requested a No Trespass Order be issued to both. All items taken were returned.
