SUSPENDED LICENSE
At 5:42 p.m., May 19, Warwick Police Officer Connor R. Bemis was on a fixed traffic post on West Shore Road when he spotted a black Ford traveling west. The vehicle had no front plate, so Bemis initiated a traffic stop. The driver, identified as Roland J. Ferland, 54, of 17 Dexter St., Johnston, had a suspended driver’s license, according to police. It was allegedly Ferland’s fourth and subsequent offense, so he was taken into custody.
Ferland was transported to Warwick Police Headquarters. His vehicle was towed from the scene. He was charged with one count of Driving with Suspended/Revoked/Canceled License (fourth or subsequent offense).
DUI
Around 11:30 p.m., May 11, Warwick Police on routine patrol traveling west on Airport Road spotted a red vehicle swerving over the fog line and yellow median multiple times.
When the vehicle turned right on to Post Road, police initiated a traffic stop.
They made contact with the driver, and identified her as Jonni M. Sabetta, 53, of 152 Broad St., Apt. 4B, Pawtucket.
“While speaking with Sabetta, I was able to observe Smirnoff alcohol cans and Parrot Bay nips on the front passenger side compartment of the vehicle,” wrote Warwick Police Officer Alejandro J. Martinez. “I asked Sabetta if she had been drinking to which she had ‘one coconut shot.’”
Police asked Sabetta to consent to a series of standardized field sobriety tests. Following the tests, she was arrested and charged with DUI of Liquor (BAC unknown, first offense) and received citations for Refusal to Submit to Chemical Test (first offense) and Laned Roadway Violations. She was ultimately transported to Kent County Memorial Hospital for detox and left in the care and custody of the staff.
DUI
At 1:26 a.m., May 13, Warwick Police Officer Brent W. Giles was on routine patrol in the area of Hoxsie Four Corners, traveling north on Warwick Avenue, when he spotted a white Nissan traveling south crossing into another lane of travel, cutting off another vehicle.
Giles turned his cruiser around and initiated a traffic stop.
He identified the driver as Luis R. Gonzalez Castro, 26, of 71 Strawberry Hill, Apt. 101, Stamford, Connecticut. Police reported smelling alcohol when they approached the vehicle.
Police asked him to consent to a series of standardized field sobriety tests. Following the tests, he was arrested and charged with DUI of Liquor (BAC 0.15 or greater; first offense) and received citations for Laned Roadway Violations and Tail Lamps Required.
LARCENY
Around 9:16 a.m., May 23, Warwick Police Officer Robert J. Canis-Langlais responded to the Westgate Condominiums, 752 Quaker Lane, to investigate a reported larceny.
Upon arrival, police met with the reporting party, who told them she parked her vehicle around 6 p.m. the night before, but received a distressing call from a neighbor the next morning.
The neighbor told her that three of her four tires and rims were missing from her 2004 Toyota Corolla, which was propped up on bricks.
The officer was approached by another neighbor, who advised him that their vehicle had two lug nuts loosened.
“She was advised to have the lugs tightened before operating the vehicle,” Canis-Langlais wrote in the report. He canvassed the parking lot and did not find any other vehicles that had been tampered with. The investigation continues.
