Gansett Man Charged With DUI 

Matthew William Boggs, 29, of 35 Maple Ave. in Narragansett, was arrested May 19 at 11:36 p.m. on charges of drunken driving and refusing to submit to a chemical test.

A woman called the North Kingstown Police Department to report that an alleged intoxicated man was driving in circle around Dayton Court. During her call with dispatch, the woman reportedly got into her car and was driving toward Narragansett when she realized that the man, driving a Jeep, was following her.

According to reports, police pulled the man over on Tower Hill Road near Route 4 where he told officers that he was driving to a bar in Wakefield and was following friends in the car ahead of him. Police noted that the man appeared to be under the influence and conducted a field sobriety test – which he allegedly failed.

According to police, the man was given his opportunity to make a confidential telephone call once officers brought him into custody at the police station, but apparently had difficulty placing the call: dispatch relayed to the officers that the man was allegedly calling the police station. Police allegedly had to dial the number for the man.

He is scheduled for arraignment on June 5 in Third District Court.

Two Woman Allegedly Argue Over Dog Droppings

Police were called in to resolve an issue between two women in their 40s who were in disagreement regarding dog feces. One woman lives on Lake Drive next to Davisville Elementary School and allegedly told officers that the other woman frequently walks her dog in the area and, though she does pick up her dog’s droppings and put them in a bag, she leaves the bag wherever her dog did its business. According to reports, two months ago someone took one of the bags of dog feces and placed it along the walkway that the woman uses to access the school. The person also allegedly left a note telling the dog owner to properly dispose of their dog’s excrement.

Afterward, the Lake Drive resident found a note on her tree addressed to her. The note was allegedly sarcastic in nature and made references to the resident leaving the package on the walkway and mentioning that the woman was doing a great job as the “poop police.”

Last weekend, the women allegedly exchanged words over the incident. This past weekend, the resident received an email from the woman that was allegedly “nicely worded” but for the most part was trying to get the woman to admit to leaving the excrement on the walkway, saying “Just be honest and the whole ordeal will be over.”

Police issued a no-trespass order on the Lake Drive resident’s property against the dog owner. Police spoke to the dog owner, who reportedly said that she had only failed to pick up her dog’s droppings one time.
