Video Voyeurism Alleged at Clinic

Barrington detectives and the RI State Police are investigating a claim that a technician who no longer works at Barrington Urgent Care took inappropriate photos of a young girl.

Barrington police detectives and the Rhode Island State Police are investigating an alleged case of video voyeurism by a former X-ray technician at Barrington Urgent Care on Maple Avenue. "We're using their technology," said Police Chief John LaCross of the State Police. "His phone has been seized by the State Police. They can do a forensic audit." The investigation with the State Police grew out of a June 17 claim by a mother who came into the station and said an X-ray technician appeared to be taking inappropriate photos of her daughter with a cell phone. She confronted the technician and was told that the photos on the phone were of a bachelor party, LaCross said. The technician told the same story to a doctor at the clinic. “She didn’t…

Owners of Defiled House Speak Out

The Kilmarx family of 56 Elm Lane writes a letter to the editor on the Jan. 20 break-in, underage drinking party and vandalism that caused '$19,000 damage'.

The owners of the 56 Elm Lane home that was trashed by an underage drinking party on Jan. 20 spoke out this week about the break-in and vandalism in a letter to the editor. The letter, signed by the Kilmarx family (Bob, John, Peter and Elizabeth), was printed in the Barrington Times. It was given a headline: "Local teenagers have caused great pain." In short, the letter describes the entry into the home as a break-in – “forced entry through a window” – and not through an unlocked door as was initially reported by the Barrington police. An initial statement from the 16-year-old girl who has been charged with breaking and entering and malicious vandalism to the home was a lie, the letter states. Evidence and a subsequent confession proved it…

The parents of the juvenile delinquents responsible should not only be paying for the damages, but also assisting in the clean-up & repairs. It is incomprehensible to me that so many residents have chimed in to say "kids make mistakes," "nobody's perfect," etc.. Actions have consequences-at least outside of Barrington. @Chris12: The low-life element you speak of are your friends & neighbors here …   more ›

Ancient Coin-Collecting Doc Out on Bail

New York DA claims Barrington doctor Arnold-Peter Weiss attempted to sell a valuable Greek coin that belongs to the Italian government.

A world-renowned hand and wrist surgeon from Barrington who faces charges of receiving stolen property – a rare Greek coin known as a Tetradrachm -- is out on bail of $200,000 while waiting a possible grand jury indictment in New York City. Dr. Arnold-Peter C. Weiss, 51, of Nayatt Road, a partner in University Orthopedics, was arraigned in New York criminal court, said Diem Tran, a senior press officer in the New York County District Attorney’s Office. “But because he is being charged with a felony, a grand jury must vote to indict him,” Tran said. “If they do vote on an indictment, possibly on March 21, then he must be arraigned in Supreme Court.” Weiss, a member of the Brown Medical School faculty and former trustee at RISD, is being …
