6 p.m. – A Shippeetown Road resident reported to police she noticed large boulders in her backyard while she was walking her dog there. She said she had not noticed them Tuesday. Police noticed snapped pine branches leading from the driveway to the backyard. Police went to a nearby construction site on Spencer’s Grant Drive to see if the boulders could have come from there but the soil and boulders did not resemble what police had seen at the Shippeetown Road backyard. The contractor at the Spencer’s Grant site said he thought the soil and boulders looked like material he’d seen in North Kingstown.
