Take a look at some of the more compelling police reports from around the state. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.
A Family-Themed B&E When breaking into one of your properties without giving your tenant proper notice, it’s always great to take the kids along. It all began when the 38-year-old landlord called his tenant at 5 a.m. and allegedly told her to move out so he could move back in. (FYI: Rhode Island law states that tenants must be given a warning a month in advance of eviction.) When the tenant refused to open the door for the man, he reportedly hoisted his 14-year-old son up the fire escape to bang on the bathroom window in an effort to catch her attention. He was charged with breaking and entering a house without consent, a felony, and disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. Woman 'Schools' Cop in Foot Chase Staff and students at a Johnston …

Check out the odd and sometimes amusing police reports from around Rhode Island.
Aren't There Better Places to Fight?: It may be common sense to most folks, but there are places that aren't the best for having an altercation with someone else — as two Johnston men found out on Nov. 25, one of those places is along I-95. State Police reported finding the two men engaged in a fight at about 2:40 am. They were each charged with, in hockey parlance, a double-minor: one misdemeanor count of assault and one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct.

Sign up kid, score supplies?: Smithfield Police this week reported the arrest of a woman who registered one of her kids for preschool — then, according to police, filled a trash bucket with more than $560 in school supplies. When she returned the next day to retrieve the bucket, school staffers alerted police. Lucky dog survives 11-mi. trip in car grille: If ever there was a dog that deserved the name Lucky, it would be this poodle.

Take a look at some of the more unusual police reports from around the state.
Quit while you're ahead: A man could have walked away with a simple no-trespass order last weekend if he had not bid a Johnston police officer with some unkind parting words. According to officers' reports, the 30-year-old man had been banging on the windows and doors of a Johnston home, prompting the homeowner to call police and request a no-trespass order. When officers arrived, they reportedly found the man trying to hide behind a boat in the driveway. As one of the officers told the man to leave the property, he reportedly replied with expletives, which landed him in handcuffs on a disorderly conduct charge.

We compile noteworthy crime stories from across the region.
The wrong kind of superfecta: In what may be an OMG PD record for highest number of police departments charging a suspect, three town departments and the Rhode Island State Police all filed charges against an 18-year-old from Johnston who was a passenger in the recent high-speed chase that ended in Scituate. Johnston and Foster charged him with felony breaking and entering, larceny, and conspiracy in separate incidents; Scituate added one count of violating a no-contact order, and the Staties topped off the list with a resisting arrest charge. OMG PD Bonus: The man already has five priors on his BCI record — since April 30. Lumberjack disguises got him into Motel 6 — cops got him out: Police officers nabbed the man known as the 'Bearded …
