CINDERELLA STORY
A 23-year-old Warwick man was arrested on Aug. 18 and charged with possession of stolen goods, attempted larceny and resisting arrest after police subdued him on Inez Avenue around 1 a.m. Officer John Kelly reported they were dispatched to the area for a report of a man rifling through parked vehicles on the street. Kelly said a witness told them the suspect fled into the backyard of a nearby house and Kelly and another officer followed. Kelly said they found a manual and paperwork for a Dodge Charger, a pack of cigarettes, a cell phone, a pile of change and a white sneaker in the backyard. As that happened, Kelly said he saw the suspect running toward another officer who knocked him down and began struggling with the suspect until other officers helped subdue him. Officer Joshua Myer reported that he was familiar with the suspect and that he appeared to be highly intoxicated and the sneaker they found belonged to him. Joseph D. Coffey, 23, of 126 Toll Gate Rd. was held for arraignment in District Court and police learned there was a warrant out for him for failure to appear for a prior charge.
