Police Log: Sept. 30 to Oct. 3

Violation of No Contact Order:

arrested John D. Iannone, of 7 A Amana Dr., on a charge of violation of protective order. Ptlm. Joseph Salvadore responded to 24 Sprague Circle, where the victim stated that Iannone, her ex-boyfriend, allegedly contacted her on Sept. 29 and numerous times before that.

The no-contact order stemmed from Iannone's arrest in January for making crank phone calls to the victim, according to Salvadore’s report.

Iannone was arraigned at police headquarters on Oct. 1 and released on $1,000 personal recognizance until a scheduled Oct. 12 hearing in Third District Court. Another no-contact order was also issued.

Stolen jewelry:

Police arrested Natasha Heredia, of 470 Laurel Hill Ave., Cranston, on a felony charge of larceny over $500 on Oct. 1. The victim’s husband reported the theft of his wife’s wedding ring and anniversary ring from their home in Johnston. The husband told Ptlm. Adam Catamero that the only people who had access to the bedroom besides him and his wife were staff from their hired cleaning company.

Det. Brian M. Loffredi contacted the owner of the cleaning company, who provided the names of the employees who had recently worked at the home. The staff manager told Loffredi he was training a new maid, and that Heredia was the person who cleaned the bedroom, according to the police report.

Loffredi ran Heredia’s name through the State of Rhode Island Precious Metals and Pawn database, and found that Heredia’s name appeared for five transactions at Empire Loan in Providence. Loffredi contacted Empire Loan and learned Heredia was allegedly there on Sept. 29 to get a cash loan using two rings — which matched the victim's description of the stolen items — as collateral.

After Heredia reported to police headquarters on Oct. 1, she allegedly began to cry when Loffredi questioned her about the rings. Heredia allegedly admitted to taking the rings because she needed the money to buy diapers, clothes, and medicine for her three-year old child, according to Loffredi’s report. Heredia was arraigned on Oct. 1 and released on $1,000 personal recognizance until a scheduled Dec. 2 hearing in Sixth District Court.

Babysitter caught shoplifting with minor:

Police arrested Candy L. Gonzalez, 26, of 58 Sherwood St., Providence, on a charge of shoplifting, conspiracy, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor on Oct. 2 following an alleged theft at Burlington Coat Factory on Atwood Avenue.

Ptlm. Michael Protano responded to a call of a shoplifter in the custody of loss prevention personnel at the Burlington Coat Factory store. A loss prevention staffer stated that Gonzalez had entered the store with a minor, who allegedly took several items and put them in a bag.

The staffer said that Gonzalez used other bags containing merchandise she had bought to conceal the bag with the stolen items, Protano wrote in his report.

When they tried to leave the store, the store staffer caught the minor, but could not stop Gonzalez.

Police charged with minor  — who identified Gonzalez as her babysitter — with shoplifting and released her to the custody of her uncle.

Officers later went to Gonzalez's home and arrested her there. She was arraigned on Oct. 2 and released on $1,000 personal recognizance until a scheduled Oct. 12 hearing in Third Disrict Court.
