11:55 a.m. – Police arrested a North Kingstown man, 44, for driving while intoxicated after he was found sleeping in the driver’s seat of his car with the motor running on Overlook Lane at Harwood Drive. It took a while to rouse the man, who once awake moved very slowly and seemed confused. He said he’d been for a walk. Police noticed a small bottle in the man’s pocket, which turned out to be a Fireball Cinnamon nip. Police also found four bottles of white wine in the car, one empty, and a plastic Mountain Dew bottle with what smelled like alcohol in it. The man agreed to take field sobriety tests, which he failed. He was taken into custody and processed at the station, where he declined to take a chemical breath test. Police gave the man a District Court summons for the DUI and a citation for refusing the breath test. A family member picked him up.

Before police arrived, the man called back to say the other man, driving a truck, had made a u-turn and was heading back toward South County Trail. Police located the truck. The driver of the truck told police the other man had cut him off. He said it happened where South County Trail goes from two lanes to one south of Division Street. The two drivers honked at each other and exchanged middle fingers. When the Connecticut man turned onto Middle Road, the other driver decided to cut through the On Semi parking lot to be able to find the Connecticut man. He said he parked on the side of Middle Road, got out, raised his hands over his head and said, “What the f*** are you doing?” The Connecticut man’s story echoed the second man’s story except that he said the other man had positioned his truck in such a way as to block him. The Connecticut man said he did not want to press charges so police released the other man.

Police suggested the woman call the co-worker but she said he had blocked her number. Police called the number and left a message. They explained to the woman that she, not the police, would have to have the truck towed since it was on private property.

The valet driver said he wasn’t making as much money with the sign there.  Police have spoken to valets for the restaurant as well as restaurant management before for using the crosswalk as a parking space. The valet refused to give his name to the first officer on the scene but eventually gave it to a second officer who arrived. Police told the man they would mail the municipal citation to his home address. The citation was for one instance of not listening to police and two instances of moving a town sign.
