DUI

At approximately 9:18 a.m. on Nov. 27, officers Walter Larson and Michael Isherwood were directed to the area of Cumberland Farms at 3335 Post Road for a report of a possibly impaired driver. Dispatch advised that a blue pickup truck was “all over the roadway” and had just pulled into the store’s parking lot.

The officers positioned their cruiser on Centerville Road across from the Cumberland Farms and observed the operator in question enter his vehicle. The vehicle is said to have pulled on Post Road north, ignoring a no left turn sign. The officers followed the vehicle onto Greenwich Avenue and observed it straddle lane lines and narrowly miss striking the curb.

The officers initiated a motor vehicle stop and Larson made contact with the operator, who is said to have had a “flushed red face,” “bloodshot eyes” and “severely slurred speech.”

“I could smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage known to me through my training and experience to come from his breath,” Larson reports.

The operator is said to have agreed to undergo field sobriety testing, which he reportedly failed.

Patrick T. Provost, 29, 125 Paula Drive, North Kingstown, was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence and transported to Warwick Police headquarters for processing. While at headquarters, he is said to have refused a chemical breath test.

Provost was later released with a summons to appear in Third Division District Court on a charge of driving under the influence. He was additionally cited for refusal to submit to a chemical test, obedience to traffic control device and a laned roadway violation.

At the scene, the reporting party told Moretti that she had parked her 1998 Honda CRV in front of Golf Galaxy at approximately 11 a.m. and gone inside the mall. When she returned to the vehicle sometime between 12:30 and 12:45 p.m., she discovered the passenger-side window had been smashed.

“It looked as though there was a small punch in the upper right hand corner,” Moretti reports. “The rest of the window was shattered but in tact.”

“He also said the vehicle barely ran,” Jones reports. “He stated that he was working on it and he was about to go outside to work on it when he noticed that it was missing from his driveway.”

The matter was documented and the vehicle was entered into records as stolen.

Then, on the morning of Dec. 5, the vehicle was located in Cranston with no damage. ***

Just before 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 3, Officer Britton Kelly spoke by phone with a reporting party regarding an attempted larceny incident.

The reporting party told Kelly she had been sitting in her dining room when she saw another woman approach her front door with a package, place it inside a Monroe Dairy box outside the door, take of a photograph of the package inside the box, and then remove the package from the box before returning to her vehicle with it. The woman is said to have worn an Amazon vest but been driving a personal vehicle.

The reporting party and her daughter then went outdoors and called out to the delivery woman, who is said to have initially refused to respond before saying the package was not for the home. The reporting party’s daughter is said to have taken the package out of the delivery woman’s hands. The label of the package listed the name and address of the reporting party.

The reporting party said she had contacted Amazon about the incident and wanted to alert police in the event of similar incidents elsewhere in the community.

“It should be noted that some part-time Amazon employees do deliver packages in their personal vehicle and they did wear some form of identification,” Kelly reports.

The matter was documented and forwarded to detectives.

SHOPLIFTING

Shortly before 5 p.m. on Oct. 29, Officer Jordan Guyton responded to the Paper Store at the Warwick Mall for a report of a shoplifting incident that occurred Oct. 27.

The woman is said to have then proceeded to the register and paid for a $40 pair of slippers with a credit card before exiting the store without paying for the additional items. The reporting party said the theft was confirmed through a review of security camera footage.

During a Nov. 9 follow-up visit to the Paper Store, a manager provided a list of $153 worth of items that were determined to have been stolen in the incident.

Based on the credit card information and security camera footage from the store, Guyton was able to identify the suspect as been previously arrested on charges of shoplifting in other communities. A warrant was subsequently issued for the woman’s arrest on a charge of felony shoplifting.
