We compile the "oh my gosh" worthy stories from around the region.
Piss Drunk Ever laughed so hard you peed…in an elevator? One Massachusetts woman can now add that to her list of life accomplishments following her arrest in East Providence last week. Police arrived at a hotel after receiving a call about a disturbance, finding the 22-year-old woman and her 21-year-old friend at the scene. Employees told police that the 22-year-old woman had urinated in the hotel’s elevator. When asked what prompted her to do number one in the elevator, the woman allegedly told police that her friend had “told her a funny joke that made her urinate onto the floor.” Both women were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct.

Take a look at some of the more intriguing police reports from around the state. An arrest does not indicate a conviction.
Notably Over the Limit This week’s highest blood alcohol content measurement allegedly goes to one 34-year-old man from South Kingstown. At a whopping .326, this man was allegedly more than four times the legal limit when he drove his car into a stone wall in South Kingstown, according to police reports. To add to the story, it seems the man hadn’t quite learned from past experiences: according to reports, he was arrested by Narragansett police only 13 days prior on charges of (you guessed it) drunken driving. Love (and Cars) in the Air For Valentine’s Day Love was in the air this past Valentine’s Day – and so was one woman’s car. According to reports out of Barrington, a supposed drunk driver hit a median that sent her car into the air. …

Cars: Not Meant For Ice Skating While most have been cursing this week’s weather, one Woonsocket woman is grateful for these subfreezing temperatures. According to police, the 52-year-old woman was attempting to turn right on to what she thought was a road during her morning commute. Something “went wrong,” causing her to drive down a bank and then on to a frozen pond. Because Rhode Island has been as cold as the planet Hoth this week, the ice was thick enough to support the car, and crews were able to tow it off the ice without a problem. A Birthday Card and a Half Birthday Suit Two Narragansett women had odd approaches dealing with law enforcement this week. A 32-year-old woman was pulled over for suspected DUI and, when police asked …

Assault Suspect ‘Kisses & Tells’ One Cranston man apparently doesn’t adhere to the “don’t kiss and tell” mantra when he literally tried to kiss an officer. According to reports, the 50-year-old man assaulted his pregnant girlfriend. When police arrived, he told them his name was Eshu and, according to one officer, “began talking about things that didn’t make sense.” After he allegedly admitted to hitting the woman, officers brought him to the police station, where he refused to get out of the car and instead began blowing kisses at officers. As police attempted to fingerprint the man, he grabbed one officer’s face and tried to kiss him, saying that he needed to “cleanse” the officers. Karma or Coincidence? Earlier this year, a …

Not Your Grandparents’ Scavenger Hunt An annual scavenger hunt in South Kingstown has us wondering what is in the water down there. The hunt, organized by seniors at the high school, is not a school-sanctioned event and produced a bevy of complaints on the night of Nov. 3. According to reports, a Toyota Camry’s roof was caved in and windshield shattered after students jumped on the car and wooden posts were ripped out of the ground near the high school. Students were seen streaking near the Narragansett sea wall and several others were allegedly in one Wakefield business stripping in the store. A Burger King employee told police he saw a “highly intoxicated” teenager wearing just underwear jump out of a car and begin yelling “Where’s the…

The War On/For Christmas Two Aquidneck Island residents have two very different mindsets when it comes to the holidays. In Portsmouth, a 25-year-old man reportedly involved his Christmas tree in a fight against a woman. According to reports, he threw the tree onto the porch of the house and allegedly head-butted and slapped her across the face. The same day in Middletown, a 52-year-old waged war for Christmas when she allegedly tried to kill a 56-year-old man with a knife. She told police she became upset after seeing pictures of Christmas trees on Facebook and realized they had not had a tree in four years. She allegedly told police that all she was trying to do was save Christmas. Baby Left Behind at Dollar Tree One Providence mother …

‘Curvy Sweet Dark Chocolate’ Woman Charged With Prostitution A “sweet seductive companion” was apparently not seductive enough to wiggle her way out of prostitution charges. North Kingstown, South Kingstown and East Providence police collaborated to nab the 28-year-old North Kingstown woman suspected of engaging in prostitution in her apartment. An EP detective went undercover to the woman’s apartment after police discovered her online ad – which described her as a “sweet seductive companion” and “curvy sweet dark chocolate” who exclusively catered to the “older men.” When the EP detective arrived at her home, she was reportedly not wearing pants and apologized for being naked. After police arrested her, she allegedly told them she was …

Man Blames Mystery Mechanic For Accident Many children pin blame on their imaginary friends. One Woonsocket man nearly did the same – blaming a hit-and-run accident on an imaginary mechanic. According to reports, the 27-year-old man had sideswiped a car earlier in the day and left the scene. When officers confronted the man about the accident, he told them his mechanic named “Miguel” was driving the vehicle earlier in the day and was trying to set him up. Furthering police’s suspicions, the man was unable to provide Miguel’s last name, address or phone number. Police noted that the man matched the victim’s description and that he was also sporting a bruise on his right shoulder – which the man was unable to explain. Police arrested the …

Dog Bites Postal Worker East Greenwich Police may have thought a reported dog bite was a prank. According to reports, police received a call that a Rottweiler-shepherd mix had charged at a woman and lunged at her arm. Normally, we wouldn’t include such a routine police item, but considering the victim’s profession – a postal worker – we made an exception. (We thought this just happened in the movies.) You’re Doing it Wrong On the list of places to hide your crack, one’s digestive tract is probably somewhere near the bottom. According to Woonsocket Police, a 22-year-old man (arrested on a warrant) began acting strangely once police brought him to the station. The man’s body language became slow and lethargic, said one officer. When police…

Dog Survives 11-Miles While Wedged in Car Grille If ever there was a dog that deserved the name Lucky, it would be this poodle. According to East Providence police, the little pup (named Suzie) survived an 11-mile journey from Taunton to EP – while wedged in the grille of a car. The dog was struck by a car after it ran into the road. The driver, unaware there was a canine stuck to his car, continued driving until someone flagged him down in EP. Suzie somehow managed to avoid serious injury, suffering a concussion, and was later reunited with her owners.
