Providence Man Arrested On Domestic Violence Charge Following Fatal Crash: Cops

EXETER, RI — A Providence man was arrested on a domestic violence charge by state troopers investigating a fatal crash, police said.

Tariq Famogun, 26, was arrested about 4 a.m. Sunday on charges of domestic violence — violation of a no contact order and obstruction of an officer in the execution of duty, the Rhode Island State Police said in a media release.

Famogun's arrest was the "result" of state troopers "investigating a fatal motor vehicle crash on South County Trail" in Exeter, according to the release.

The state police failed to respond to a request for more information on Famogun's arrest and the fatal motor vehicle crash.

Famogun was "transported to the State Police Wickford Barracks, where he was processed, and held overnight as a probation violator," the release said.
