ASSAULT AND BATTERY

On Sept. 9 at approximately 1:00 a.m. Officer David Boardman was on detail at the McKinley’s on Division St. when a physical altercation occurred inside the bar.

According to police, a man later identified as Kyle Wood, 34, of 95 North St. in Douglas, Mass. was highly intoxicated and had been following around a group of people that night. One of the witnesses said an altercation was about to happen in the back.

When the officer went out to the back patio, he saw Wood punch a male in the face. Along with security staff, Officer Boardman intervened and restrained Wood to the ground outside.

The victim later told the assisting officer, Timothy Tavares, that Wood was following him around the bar and attempting to talk to him and his girlfriend. When the victim asked Wood to leave, he said Wood became hostile and swung at him, striking him on the side of his head, though there were no marks or bruises.

The victim said he would like to press charges against Wood for the assault.

Wood was taken to police headquarters, where he was charged with one count of Simple Assault and one count of Disorderly Conduct. He was then released to a sober adult with court summons.

She said a different female got out of her vehicle on the road and started banging on her window and telling her she was texting against the law.

She also said the female was swearing at her, and the victim drove forward when the light turned green and the suspect threw coffee at her car as she drove away. The victim said she wished to press charges on the suspect.

The suspect was soon after found and identified as Desiree Brown, 30, of 21 Orchard St. in West Warwick. Brown said she believed the victim had been texting and driving on the road and had almost hit the car she was in, which her mother was driving.

She said she got angry and got out of the car at the light and started screaming at the female in the other car, and also admitted to throwing coffee at her vehicle after she drove away.

Officer Goes determined that Brown would be charged with one count of Disorderly Conduct. She was taken to police headquarters and was later released with a court summons.
