Boy, 16, Charged With Resisting Arrest, Disorderly Conduct

A 16-year-old Federal Road boy faces three Barrington police charges after a disturbance at his home late Saturday night, Nov. 26.

The teen was charged with disorderly conduct, obstructing an officer in the execution of his duty and resisting arrest, Barrington police said. His arrest came after police responded to a 11:34 pm call from his mother that his 18-year-old brother may have overdosed on drugs.

Police restrained the 18-year-old with handcuffs after they arrived for his own safety, said Police Chief John LaCross. The 16-year-old and his father had previously tried to restrain the 18-year-old, who appeared to have been drinking and taking drugs.

While police restrained the 18-year-old, the 16-year-old starting yelling obscenities at and interfering with police officers, LaCross said.  The teen was arraigned in the police station and released to the custody of another brother.

The 18-year-old was taken by Barrington EMTs to Rhode Island Hospital for treatment.
