2:49 p.m. – A resident of Ann Drive told police he was moving out of state and wanted to turn in an old rifle he’d been given 25 years ago. Police took possession of the rifle.
4:34 p.m. – Police cited a Coventry woman for driving a car with no license plates after they saw her driving west on Division Road near Shippeetown Road. The plates had been seized by Coventry Police. The woman told police she thought she had a month to deal with the problem. That was incorrect so police had the car towed. They also noted several defects with the car, including bald back tires, bad brake pads, an exhaust pipe help up with coat hangers, a driver’s door that could only be opened from the outside and broken turn signals.

The bartender at The Oaks asked that the woman not be allowed back in the bar.
