A Dog Doo Don't, Rogue Tractor Purchases & Stolen Copper Pipes

Monday, Nov. 21

Thursday, Nov. 24

10:59 p.m. - The driver of a Sonata parked on Marlborough Street called police after a hit-and-run accident. A second car, a Jetta, parked a short distance in front of the first car, also appeared to have been hit.

Friday, Nov. 25

1:10 a.m. - Police arrested William Baxter, 22, of Warwick for driving with a suspended license after he was pulled over because police saw him swerving in the road. His license turned up suspended. He said that he had swerved because his girlfriend had been tickling him. There were three other people in the car with Baxter and all had been drinking so police cited Baxter and had the car towed from the scene.

Saturday, Nov. 26

1:30 a.m. - A Eugene Street resident complained that her ex-boyfriend was outside her house and she didn’t want him there. The man, a North Kingstown resident, told police he had been drinking so police confiscated his car keys and told him he could pick them up later in the day, when he was sober. A cousin gave him a ride home.

1:54 p.m. - A resident of Duke Street reported that her child’s father tried to break into her apartment after she had asked him to leave, climbing the back fire escape and breaking a window. The man left before police arrived.

He said he’d been driving north on Main Street and was in the process of turning left onto First Avenue when an SUV traveling south on Main Street hit him and kept going. The license plate number of suspect car was traced to a resident on Hickory Drive. Police found the car in the driveway and found it was missing the same type of wheel well that had been recovered at the accident scene. The owner of the car told police that his daughter drives it but that she said she had not been in an accident. Police impounded the Hickory Drive car pending identification of the last person to have driven it.

Sunday, Nov. 27

Ahh Bah Hum Bug ! Yes the gym owner & his beautiful white standard barking poodle ! I addressed this with him over a yr ago whereas there were mounds around the lil' tree on the sidewalk by his shop [ please town cage them in 6"] ! Unfortunately he didn't receive my concerns gracefully !! Just pick it up like all us dog owners doo,dooo,doo ! It looks disgraceful and certainly deters from "Our Pretty Lil' Village" especially & out of respect for the Holidays ! The other shop owners are always dressing their windows oh especially now how Beautiful ,investing into the community and those gorgeous planters ! So when we or tourists are strolling along we certainly want everything appealing !

I hope he gets continued tickets for this. I'm tired of avoiding it when I walk my dog down main st, armed with bags to clean up after my own dog. Yes, it looks disgusting and is disgusting to have dog feces on the sidewalks and planters. However, it is a health concern for us other dog owners. Dog disease is spread via waste; dogs stop and inspect it and pick up disease (if present of course). Beyond that, not cleaning up after your dog is rude and lazy. I would never patronize a gym with a lazy owner.

I agree with you, for years he has just let George the poodle poop on the street, and doesn't bother picking it up. Not just one, but mounds and mounds! I know he has been addressed about this situation before, and he really just doesn't care what people think. Unfortunately for him, it has become part of his reputation around town....

This past Spring I was leaving another business with my daughter when she stepped in George's "leavings". I went into the gym and called for the owner who appearently didn't want to surface. I left without airing my grievance or my daughter's shoe. Next time she will wear her shoes into the gym. That may solve the problem.
