OMGPD: Big Night Planned

No Hard Feelings

It’s bad enough to get arrested for stealing from your workplace. It’s far worse to be caught stealing an item that has become the butt of many comedians’ jokes. A Rite Aid pharmacist, who seemingly couldn’t decide on which brand to go with, allegedly was caught stealing two pills of Viagra, two of Cialis and two of Levitra. All three are commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. The pharmacist, who later told authorities he didn’t think it was a “big deal,” was surprised when things escalated and the police were called. He was charged with embezzlement of under $100.

Hammer Time

A Newport man scored a twofer against police this week when he allegedly filed a fake police report and threatened to kill an officer. Police arrived at the man’s house after he called 911, stating that his girlfriend had stabbed him in the chest. A witness stated that, after the man made the call, he reportedly sat down on his couch with a hammer and said he’d kill any officer that entered his apartment. He was charged with violating a no-contact order, domestic vandalism and cyberstalking charges.

Maybe If I Close My Eyes This Will All Go Away?

One Narragansett man had an odd way of interacting with police and rescue personnel last week. The 21-year-old man’s troubles began after he crashed his car and injured himself. Perhaps he thought that if he looked them in the eye he’d turn to stone, but for whatever reason the man kept his eyes closed during all of questioning. When paramedics came to help treat the man for his injuries, he suddenly came out of his catatonic state and began to attack them, according to reports. Police soon determined what the cause of the strange behavior was when the man allegedly fessed up to drinking 10 alcohol beverages and smoking marijuana that night.

The Grass Is Always Greener (and Unmowed) On the Other Side

We don’t imagine these two East Greenwich neighbors will be having a joint barbecue any time soon. Police responded to one of the neighbors following a complaint that her neighbor did not mow his lawn “in a timely manner.” Miffed that she went to the police (and possibly that she slighted his lawn care practices), the man with the reported unruly yard allegedly sent her a letter stating, “I can be a great neighbor and friend or I can be a nightmare.”
