Around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday an officer on duty at a school in the 100 block of Commerce Way responded to a situation involving a dress code violation.

A teacher told a boy to pull up his pants and tuck in his shirt but the boy’s pants were too big and kept falling.

The teacher and officer told the boy they would provide him with twine to make a temporary set of suspenders for him but the boy resisted and said that would make him look stupid.

The teacher and officer suggested using the twine to secure the belt loops and again the boy refused, so he was sent to in-school suspension.

The officer was called to the in-school suspension room a few minutes later, where the principal told him the boy had raised his voice, repeatedly asking for his soda and chips, which the officer had confiscated during the incident in the hallway.

The boy was arrested for disorderly conduct, suspended and transported home where he was released to his mother.

When an officer arrived he could hear the noise so he went next door and told the neighbor to quiet down. The officer then went back to the woman’s place. And he got there just in time to hear the neighbor banging on the wall between the two apartments.

Warwick, RI
Warwick police said a Tidewater Drive man was motoring on West Shore Road around 12:45 p.m. Sunday when a bite of a candy bar became lodged in his throat and choked him long enough for him to momentarily black out. The driver lost control of his vehicle and slammed into a utility pole, snapping it off. The crash dislodged the piece of candy from the man’s throat but the vehicle went up onto a lawn and hit a house, tearing down the wires to the house and the neighborhood.

The house had only minor damage but according to National Grid about 2,500 customers were without power for 40 minutes and another 59 in the immediate vicinity didn’t have their electricity restored for about four hours. The woman passenger and the driver had trivial injuries but Warwick Rescue convinced the man to got to the hospital for a closer examination of his throat.
