1:46 a.m. – Police were called to Kent Drive after receiving a complaint about loud noise from a party at a house on that street. After telling the homeowner to turn down the music and bring all the guests inside, police were approached by a party guest, who said one of his tires and tires of some other cars had been slashed. In total, tires on six vehicles had been slashed. Police approached another man who was in the street to ask him about the tires. The man, from North Kingstown, appeared to be very drunk. They asked him if he had a knife on him and he said yes, he did. He moved as if retrieve something from his pocket and brushed the police officer, who was struck by something hard in the man’s pocket. Worried that it was a weapon, the officer reached into the man’s pocket and pulled out a glass jar containing what appeared to be marijuana. Police searched the man and found a knife, which police seized. They took him to headquarters to arrange for a ride home and he was given a citation for possessing marijuana (1 oz or less). One person at the party said there had been a fight between two men over a woman at the party and one of the men was asked to leave. He left with two other men. Meanwhile another guest said she’d seen two men walking by the cars, but no one saw anyone actually slashing tires.
