Just after 4:30 p.m., Officer David Boardman was conducting a routine patrol traveling north on Bald Hill Road when he observed a 2014 GMC Sierra traveling south at a high rate of speed. Boardman clocked the vehicle at 52 mph in a 35 mph zone.

“The vehicle was weaving in and out of traffic utilizing both southbound lanes of travel and it almost caused an accident,” Boardman’s report reads.

Boardman turned around to pursue the vehicle and initiated a stop after it turned on to Toll Gate Road. Upon making contact with the male operator, the officer “immediately detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath as he spoke to me in a slurred manner.” The man also exhibited “extremely bloodshot and watery eyes,” according to the officer. The vehicle also contained one female passenger.

The operator is said to have acknowledged consuming alcohol earlier that day and agreed to undergo field sobriety testing, which he reportedly failed.

Laurence A. Reyes, 49, 8 Mill St., Hope, was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence and transported to Warwick Police headquarters for processing. The passenger, who was sober and had an active driver’s license, was allowed to take the vehicle from the scene.

While at headquarters Reyes is said to have refused a chemical breath test. He was later released into the custody of a sober adult with a summons to appear in Third Division District Court on a charge of driving under the influence. He was additional cited for refusal to submit to a chemical test, speeding and laned roadway violations. SHOPLIFTING

Goes located the suspect upon arriving at the scene and took him into custody. He was subsequently identified by an asset protection officer at Walmart, according to the officer.

The asset protection officer told police he had observed two men enter the Walmart and head toward the electronics section. The suspect who was taken into custody is said to have purchased a “small light” from the electronics section before heading to the automotive section, where he allegedly selected a vehicle tow hitch and light bar. At this point, the other man is said to have exited the store without any items.

The suspect then returned the “small light” at the service desk and attempted to return the tow hitch and light bar, according to the asset protection officer. When he was refused, he is said to have existed the store with the merchandise without making any attempt to pay. He then reportedly attempted to enter a vehicle occupied by the other man who had accompanied him into the store, but the man is said to have refused to unlock the door.

The tow hitch and light bar, valued at roughly $35 and $80, respectively, were recovered by Walmart.
