FORGERY

Patrolman David J. Loffler reports responding to headquarters at approximately 3:53 p.m. on Aug. 29, 2014 for a party reporting the larceny of checks from her residence.

The woman told Loffler she had been in the process of moving and had arranged for a friend and several other men to assist with packing and transporting her belongings. She said she had paid the men in cash.

The woman told the patrolman that on Aug. 28, 2014 she had accessed her checking account and found it was overdrawn. Upon reviewing her statement online, she told Loffler, she found two checks had been written against the account – one dated Aug. 25, for $450 and another dated Aug. 26 for $250. Both were made out to the same party and were for “landscaping/cleaning/moving.”

The woman also told Loffler that she had then checked her belongings and found that her checkbook and $300 in cash were missing from her purse. She suspected they were taken while she was in the residence with the movers, as her purse had been unsecured.

At approximately 3:47 a.m. on April 14, 2015, Patrolman Derick Ofori reports responding to the Woonsocket Police Department with Patrolman Andrew Broccoli to take custody of Ryan E. Tripp, 20, of 433 N. Keystone Ave. in Sayre, Pa., on a warrant issued in connection with the incident.

Tripp is charged with two felony counts of forgery and counterfeiting in general, as well as two misdemeanor counts of receiving stolen goods and a misdemeanor count of larceny under $1,500. He was processed and held at Johnston headquarters.

DUI

Patrolman Mario Mannella Jr. reports being dispatched to the Cumberland Farms at 609 Killingly St. at approximately 11:46 p.m. April 18 to perform field sobriety tests on a party that had been involved in a motor vehicle accident in the parking lot.

Upon arrival at the scene, Mannella reports detecting an odor of alcoholic beverage on the man’s breath. “I also observed his speech to be slurred and eyes to be bloodshot with a glossed over appearance. He was also unsteady on his feet, swaying back and forth,” the patrolman writes in his narrative report.

Mannella reports the man failed all three portions of the field sobriety testing and agreed to take a preliminary breath test but “did not blow into the PBT hard or long enough to get an accurate reading” after several attempts.

Jaimeson A. Gonzalez, 29, of 180 Cherry Hill Road in Johnston, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and transported to police headquarters, where he reportedly refused to submit to a chemical test.

Gonzalez was charged with driving under the influence of drugs of alcohol (first offense, blood alcohol content unknown), refusal to submit to a chemical test and refusal to submit to a preliminary breath test. He was released with a summons to appear in district court.
