Police Log: Dec. 20

Narcotics, steroid arrest:

arrested Christoper Teolis, 34, of Cranston on a felony count of heroin possession and a misdemeanor charge of driving in possession of controlled substances on Dec. 20.

Sgt. Michael Babbitt reported that he was parked at the Sky View Inn & Suites on Hartford Avenue when he saw Teolis's car drive by at a high rate of speed and enter the parking lot. Babbitt wrote that the car did not have registration plates attached to it.

When he pulled the car over, Babbitt reported, Teolis got out and tried to run into the office of the motel.

After Babbitt ordered him to stop, Teolis then approached the officer and reportedly tried to hide something in his shirt pocket.

Teolis allegedly admitted to having hypodermic needles and a small amount of heroin in his possession, and asked Babbit "not to arrest [him] before Christmas."

After arresting Teolis, Babbitt reported that he searched the car and found two small brown vials. When he asked Teolis whether they were steroids, Babbitt reported, Teolis replied that he didn't know, and that he had "found them in the town of Burrillville."

Teolis's car was towed from the scene; Teolis was arraigned at headquarters and released on $5,000 personal recognizance until a scheduled Feb. 22 court hearing.
