Today's riddle: What do an island and the letter "t" have in common? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 2 Charged In Connection With Pawtucket Drive-By Shooting: Cops (patch.com) — Pawtucket police arrested a 20-year-old man and a juvenile after a drive-by shooting on Cottage Street, where officers recovered shell casings but found no victims. Detectives used surveillance video to identify a vehicle of interest, then took both suspects into custody on drive-by shooting and conspiracy charges. One will be arraigned by a bail commissioner while the juvenile was sent to the Rhode Island Training School.
• Ex-Pawtucket Schools Controller Alleges CFO Was Forced Out (upriseri.com) — Pawtucket residents are learning more about turmoil in the school district's finance office, as a former controller publicly alleged the previous CFO was fired for refusing to bend financial realities and has filed a wrongful termination suit. The School Committee later met in closed session about litigation and heard that the district's long-delayed audit remains in draft form, with exhausted staff still working toward completion.
• The Road Ahead, driven by Audi: Orlando City SC at New England Revolution (orlandocitysc.com) — Soccer fans in Pawtucket may recall Orlando City's dramatic 4–3 U.S. Open Cup win over New England at Centreville Bank Stadium, where the Lions erased three deficits in stoppage time. That thriller is part of the backdrop as Orlando, riding strong form and several player milestones, heads back to New England for another key late-season showdown.
