Police Log: DUI, Sex Offender Charged with Failing to Register Address Change

On Thursday, Newport Police charged Rosario Muro Castro, 47, of 137 E. Renfrew Ave., Middletown, with driving under the influence at around 9:58 p.m. after an officer on patrol saw her run a red light at the intersection of Memorial Boulevard and Bellevue Avenue.

Police said Castro showed signs of intoxication and failed a field sobriety test. She later registered a .091 blood alcohol reading in a preliminary breath test at police headquarters.

Along with the DUI charge, Castro was cited for running a red light.

SEX OFFENDER

Police charged Teddy Lessard, 34, of no permanent address, Newport, with failing to register his address as a sex offender Thursday night.

Police said a nearby officer saw Lessard as he rode as a passenger in a car that pulled into the Bayside Village apartment complex.

Police approached Lessard behind building 137 and were able to confirm an active warrant for his arrest through dispatch.

He was taken into custody without incident.

NO CONTACT

Police charged Keith L. Turner, 24, of 15 Meeting St. Newport, with violating a no contact order and domestic trespassing early Friday morning.

Police said they were dispatched to a city address after a report that someone was banging on the door.

Police found Tuner, who said he had been kicked out of the shelter for three days and was trying to find a place to stay.

Because a court order bars Turner from contacting the resident or being at the address, he was arrested.
