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 a 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. After two teens were dropped off, the adults allegedly approached…

Notably Over the Limit This week’s highest blood alcohol content measurement allegedly goes to one 34-year-old man from South Kingstown. At a whopping .326, this man was allegedly more than four times the legal limit when he drove his car into a stone wall in South Kingstown, according to police reports. To add to the story, it seems the man hadn’t quite learned from past experiences: according to reports, he was arrested by Narragansett police only 13 days prior on charges of (you guessed it) drunken driving. Love (and Cars) in the Air For Valentine’s Day Love was in the air this past Valentine’s Day – and so was one woman’s car. According to reports out of Barrington, a supposed drunk driver hit a median that sent her car into the air. …

An Armless Snowman? Following last week’s blizzard, snowmen began springing up across the state. One household in South Kingstown decided to create something a bit more unique with their excess snow and erected a 10-foot phallic sculpture. Police were called the house not once, not twice but four times in a span of two days. For now, the snow soldier will remain. Police say that the sculpture is protected by free speech and is o private property. Clerk Foils Armed Robbery Two would-be robbers got more than they bargained for this week when they attempted to rob a convenience store in Cranston. Though they stormed the store with a shotgun, the clerk working that shift apparently isn’t the type to take orders from anyone – even if you have …

Teacher Can Count to Five (Misdemeanor Charges) We’re guessing this Providence teacher doesn’t specialize in criminal justice. A 49-year-old teacher was arrested in North Kingstown last weekend after making a scene at Seven Moons restaurant while allegedly intoxicated. Police arrived at the restaurant after another patron called about a drunk woman who had fallen off her bar stool and hit her head. Officers arrived and were greeted by the reportedly belligerent and intoxicated teacher, who was friends with the injured woman. According to reports, she began to curse and yell at police. When officers tried to move her to another part of the restaurant, she allegedly yelled, "[Expletive] you, my brother's a cop." When police tried placing her…

Sisterly Love This week’s OMG PD submission from North Kingstown delves into the age-old question: is it illegal to punch your sister in the face? One NK woman had some difficulty ascertaining the legality of assaulting her sister when she allegedly showed up to her sibling’s home uninvited and heavily intoxicated. The 41-year-old woman allegedly assaulted her sister while she was trying to get her to leave. When officers arrived, they noticed that the woman was intoxicated and her speech was “slurred and laced with belligerence.” When they asked her if a physical assault had occurred that night, she reportedly said, “Not yet. It’s not illegal to punch your sister in the face, is it?” Survey says: yeah, it’s illegal. Plans Flushed Down …

Cars: Not Meant For Ice Skating While most have been cursing this week’s weather, one Woonsocket woman is grateful for these subfreezing temperatures. According to police, the 52-year-old woman was attempting to turn right on to what she thought was a road during her morning commute. Something “went wrong,” causing her to drive down a bank and then on to a frozen pond. Because Rhode Island has been as cold as the planet Hoth this week, the ice was thick enough to support the car, and crews were able to tow it off the ice without a problem. A Birthday Card and a Half Birthday Suit Two Narragansett women had odd approaches dealing with law enforcement this week. A 32-year-old woman was pulled over for suspected DUI and, when police asked for…

DUI Lawyer Arrested on DUI Charges…Again Apparently one East Providence lawyer was looking to conduct more “research” for her practice this past week. The 32-year-old attorney, who specializes in DUI cases, was arrested on (you guessed it) DUI charges this week after she allegedly drove into a parked car while intoxicated. This isn’t her first DUI charge: Last year, Barrington police charged her with DUI. Those charges were dropped because police did not witness her driving erratically: they did allegedly find several open bottles of alcohol in her car. Moons Over Barrington Drivers looking to the night sky in Barrington last week saw multiple “moons” mingled among the stars over the Staples building. According to reports, a quartet of …

Man ‘Decorates’ Jail Cell One arrestee took a page from Martha Stewart’s book when he decided to do some redecorating in his jail cell. Police arrested the 54-year-old North Kingstown man on charges of disorderly conduct after he allegedly began yelling obscenities at his neighbor’s trailer while under the influence. While in his cell at the police station, police noticed that the man had discovered a new use for toilet paper as he was hanging it from the cell bars in an attempt to prevent the surveillance camera from seeing him. Though police removed the toilet paper from his cell, the man found an alternative – his blanket. After police took the blanket away, the man then used his pants to cover the cell bars. At that point, police …

Starting The New Year in the Wrong Direction One Pawtucket man has started off 2013 in the wrong direction – literally. At about 1:54 a.m. on New Year’s Day, police pulled over the 27-year-old man after he was spotted driving the wrong way on a Woonsocket street. The man said he was unfamiliar with the roads, but police believe there was another factor in his poor sense of direction after they reportedly smelled alcohol on his breath and noticed his eyes were bloodshot and watery. Oh, and the beer bottles on the floor of his car didn’t help his case either. He allegedly failed his field sobriety test. A New Definition of ‘Pop’ Patience is a virtue that one Woonsocket woman hasn’t learned yet. Police received several calls of a woman …
