by | Oct 17, 2021

Monday, October 4

8:59 p.m. – A caller informed police of a sink hole near Main Street and Armory Street; police notified DPW.

9:57 a.m. – The Eldredge Elementary School principal told police someone entered the school through a lower-level window over the weekend and wrote profanity and other indecipherable words on one classroom’s white board. A small, plastic shard appeared to have kept the window from securing which allowed the unauthorized entry.

2:29 p.m. – Police cited an EGHS student, 18, for driving with an expired license after he hit a pedestrian in the East Greenwich High School parking lot. The pedestrian, also an EGHS student, had crossed the street 30 feet away from the crosswalk according to police, so he was mailed a violation for jaywalking. In the incident, the pedestrian suffered facial injuries, cuts to the lower legs and an elbow injury from falling on the ground after being hit and spent days in the hospital. A witness said he saw the vehicle stop at the crosswalk to let a group of kids cross the street. The vehicle then started moving when the witness saw the pedestrian cross the vehicle’s path. The witness said the pedestrian was not moving in a full sprint but, in his opinion, was not walking across the street. The pedestrian told police he had waited for the road to clear before crossing when he suddenly darted into the vehicle’s path and did not have time to stop. Police determined that the biggest single factor in the collision was the pedestrian’s failure to cross at the clearly marked crosswalk. Read more HERE.
