Weather forecast:
1. Warwick Man Surrenders To State Police, Arrested On Sexual Assault Charge: Cops (patch.com) — Warwick residents are learning that a 35-year-old local man has surrendered to Rhode Island State Police and been charged with second-degree sexual assault. He turned himself in at the Wickford Barracks on Sunday evening, was processed and arraigned, and has been released with a future court date, according to state police.
2. Kidnapping, Vandalism, Weapons, Disorderly Conduct And More Charges Stem From Warwick Stabbings (patch.com) — Warwick police say a man is facing kidnapping, vandalism, weapons, and multiple domestic-related charges after a stabbing that left a man and woman wounded on Ottawa Avenue. Officers provided life-saving aid at the scene, and investigators believe the violence grew out of an ongoing domestic situation, drawing intense concern for neighborhood safety.
3. 7‑Eleven closing 645 stores. Could Rhode Island be affected? (providencejournal.com) — Warwick shoppers should know that the 7‑Eleven at 2078 West Shore Road is among Rhode Island locations listed as the chain plans to close 645 stores across North America by early 2027. The company hasn’t said which specific sites will shut down, but about 18 Rhode Island stores could be affected as 7‑Eleven shifts toward a more food‑focused model.
4. McKee pushes for $60M bond proposal for CCRI workforce training center in Warwick (pbn.com) — A proposed $60 million bond would fund a new Workforce Innovation Center at CCRI’s Warwick campus, bringing expanded hands-on training in trades, manufacturing, IT, and more. The project, part of a larger statewide infrastructure package, still needs General Assembly approval before going to voters, but backers say it could open higher-paying career paths for many local residents.
5. American Parkinson Disease Association Kicks Off 2026 Optimism Walk Series (apdaparkinson.org) — Warwick residents can look ahead to a 2026 APDA Optimism Walk coming to the city as part of a nationwide effort to support people living with Parkinson’s disease. The walk series raises funds for research, education, and local support services, with free registration and encouraged team fundraising. Dates and specific Warwick details aren’t listed yet, but planning early could help local teams organize.
