NK Woman Hit With Drunken Driving Charge

Jennifer Christel Quigley, 23, of 386 Annaquatucket Road, was arrested Aug. 24 at 2:10 a.m. on charges of drunken driving.

Police received a call from a motorist who claimed he had been following a drunk driver from Wickford to Stony Lane. Police caught up to the driver, Quigley, near Allison Court where she reportedly told officers she was going to her boyfriend’s house in Exeter and had just gotten out of work.

She allegedly told officers that her shift had ended at the Oyster Bar in Jamestown at 10:30 p.m., more than three hours earlier. According to reports, Quigley’s speech appeared to be slurred and officers could smell a strong odor of alcohol coming from her breath as she spoke.

After reportedly failing her field sobriety test, Quigley submitted to a portable breath test and allegedly recorded a .186 percent — more than double the legal limit of .08. At headquarters, Quigley took another breath test and allegedly recorded .184 and .186.

She is set to appear in Fourth District Court on Sept. 13.

Man Allegedly Calls Woman 73 Times in One Day

Francis Earl Lachappelle Jr., 48, of 23 Sagamore St. in Warwick, was arrested Aug. 24 at 12:15 p.m. on charges of making prank phone calls.

A North Kingstown woman was allegedly receiving harassing phone calls from Lachappelle and asked a friend, who also knows Lachappelle, to help resolve the issue. The friend called Lachappelle from the woman’s house and, during the call, Lachappelle allegedly threatened physical harm.

A few hours later the woman and another friend simultaneously called 911 to report that Lachappelle was sitting outside the residence in his car. Police arrived at the scene to find Lachappelle in his car. He said he was checking up on the welfare of the woman’s children.

A check of the woman’s phone records of a 20-hour period of time showed 25 calls from Lachappelle and 48 from a restricted number, which police believe is also Lachappelle’s number.
