11:44 a.m. – The manager at Dave’s at 1000 Division Street told police he wanted a new No Trespass order for a customer who’d had one in place against him between April 2017 and April 2018. Since the previous order had been expired, the man had returned and was again harassing female employees. Police were notified when the man came into the store. Police gave the man the No Trespass order, which he said he understood but refused to sign the police copy.

1:53 p.m. – The boyfriend of an East Greenwich woman told police someone left a condom outside her door. He spoke of other recent harassing incidents from her neighbor. The woman said she didn’t see anyone leave the condom; the neighbor said he had no knowledge of the incident or any other harassment.

2:02 p.m. – A Maplewood Drive resident told police about a fraudulent $2,000 check she’d received from “Whole Foods Grocers.” She said she’d received the check in the mail with a letter referring to a survey. Both Whole Foods and Citizens Bank told the woman it was a scam. She said she wanted to alert others not to be fooled.

2:08 p.m. – Police arrested an Exeter man, 39, on Post Road for an expired license after he was stopped for speeding and having tinted windows. Routine checks revealed the suspended license.

2:40 p.m. – An EG woman told police her boyfriend had slammed her hand in the door. Her hand was bleeding and she was visibly upset. She declined to fill out a statement. Police spoke with the boyfriend, who met them at the police station. He said she’d been yelling and he’d been trying to leave when she grabbed the door and hit her hand with it. He denied hurting the woman, who called him while he was at the police station. Based on the opposing stories and the woman’s refusal to file a report, police put it down to a verbal argument with an injury sustained with no intent to harm.

8:41 p.m. – A Hanaford Drive resident told police he could see via a remote surveillance camera that a strange car had pulled into their driveway. Police found the car was empty and bore temporary plates. Police said the caller could have the car towed from the driveway at their own expense.
