Three 18-year-old Barrington men face charges of vandalism and malicious injury to property.

Phillip W. Shana, of 24 South Meadow Ave.; Maximillan W. Bean, of 10 Jenny’s Lane, and Alessandro A. Guani, of 21 Martin Ave., were charged on Thursday, Feb. 9, by Barrington police.

The charges follow an investigation into vandalism to a car parked in the driveway of a home on Terrace Drive early Sunday morning, Jan. 29.

The rear window of the vehicle was smashed by a large rock at about 1:03 am, police said. The vehicle also had been “egged,” police said, and apparently not the first time.

A silver BMW was spotted in the area, police said. A car matching that description later was found parked on Bay Road near Water Way about 1:42 am with the three men, police said. A caller reported a suspicious vehicle in the area.

Handgun fired at Walker Farm

A Riverside man, 26, was charged by Barrington police on Sunday afternoon, Feb. 12, with discharging a handgun near the Walker Farm leaf disposal site off of County Road.

Thomas R. Kern Jr., of 30 Star Road, was arrested at 1:45 pm after firing at least five shots at a bag of leaves. Police found him with a .40 caliber Glock handgun and 16 shells.

“Walker Farm is not a licensed shooting range,” said Barrington Police Chief John LaCross.

The shots were fired north in the direction of the two bird sanctuaries off of County Road, which draw many walkers, LaCross said.

A Barrington police dispatcher received the report of a gun possibily being discharged by the East Providence Police Department. It a received a call about the noise.

Machado was arraigned by a justice of the peace in the police station. He was released later that day to his wife. He also faces a charge of refusing to submit to a Breathalyzer test
