12:30 a.m. – An EG woman called police to report a possible assault in progress. Police found the front door open and damaged upon arrival. At first the woman told police she wasn’t hurt, but police could see she was shaking. She said the suspect, an acquaintance of hers, had come over at 12:15 a.m. and appeared to have been drinking. The man said he disapproved of the woman’s ex-boyfriend. According to the woman, the man ripped a blanket off her and shoved her in the head with his open hand. The woman told him to leave, which he did, but then he returned and started banging on the door. When she opened the door a crack, the man punched the door and pushed against it until the door frame broke. The man left before police arrived.

7:44 a.m. – EGPD picked up a chase that started in Cranston. The car crashed into another car at Frenchtown Road and South County Trail.

I know I have a flat tire but I can make it home.” But police could smell alcohol on the woman’s breath and her eyes were bloodshot.

Rhode Island State Police arrived, conducted field sobriety tests and took the woman into custody for suspected driving while intoxicated.
