Take a look at some of the more compelling police reports from around the state. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.
The sign outside a Warren liquor store said: “No Dogs Allowed.” It said nothing about ponies. One man needing to restock his inventory of adult beverages decided the sign did not apply to his situation and brought his Shetland pony along as he bought some wine. Possibly excited by his first trip to a liquor store, the pony promptly pooped on the floor of the store. The customer, who told a local news station that he didn’t think bringing in the pony was “a big deal,” did come back to pick up his pony’s mess on the floor of the store. Say It, Don't Spray It A DCYF worker investigating a possible case of child neglect in North Kingstown got a bit of show-and-tell last week. A 26-year-old NK woman reportedly drank herself to sleep in the …

Take a look at some of the more compelling police reports from around the state. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.
No Hard Feelings It’s bad enough to get arrested for stealing from your workplace. It’s far worse to be caught stealing an item that has become the butt of many comedians’ jokes. A Rite Aid pharmacist, who seemingly couldn’t decide on which brand to go with, allegedly was caught stealing two pills of Viagra, two of Cialis and two of Levitra. All three are commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. The pharmacist, who later told authorities he didn’t think it was a “big deal,” was surprised when things escalated and the police were called. He was charged with embezzlement of under $100.
