OMGPD: Adventures on the Road

Drunken Bumper Cars

A Newport woman was arrested around 6 p.m. Wednesday after she allegedly hit two cars and fled the scene. Ingrid Pena-Tejada, 48, of 143 Third Street, Apt #4F, was charged with driving under the influence, driving with a suspended license, leaving the scene of an accident of an attended vehicle and for an open container. No injuries were reported.

Police said she registered a .278  and .277 on Breathalyzer tests, which is more than three times the legal limit.

Adventures in Carpooling

Woonsocket Police arrested a local woman for DUI after officers reportedly watched her run a red light and drive straight in a left-turn-only lane, all without wearing her seatbelt. The four children in the back of her SUV also were reportedly unbuckled.

After pulling her over, officers noted the woman smelled strongly of alcohol, but she ititially claimed she hadn't been drinking. When officers asked again, noting they could smell alcohol on her, she allegedly admitted to having a glass of wine. She may have had a few more than one, as a breath test allegedly registered a .213 blood alcohol level, more than double the legal limit of .08. She was charged with driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license. DCYF was notified.

They got out of class — just not they way they expected

Two students in Warren earned themselves a "timeout" recently after they claimed they'd seen a man with a gun in the woods behind their school. Warren Police and school officials checked their story, and learned that the kids had made it up. Officers turned over the two juveniles to school administrators for disciplinary action.

Motherly Love

A Tiverton mother was charged with filing a false report of a crime after allegedly lying to Tiverton police about a conflict with her daughter, claiming her daughter stole money from her. Keszyinki alleged her daughter physically assaulted her and stole several hundred dollars, but after police spoke with the daughter — who reportedly had an alibi for the alleged time of the crime — police suspected Keszyinki was lying and arrested her.
