… Which Leads To South Kingstown Man Charged With Assault

Kim Michael Machado, 43, of 35 Meadowbrook Way, Apt. #8, South Kingstown, was arrested at about 10:25 p.m. on Sept. 17 and charged with assault.

According to police, a doctor at South County Hospital lodged the complaint against Machado. The doctor told police that while treating a family member of Machado, the family member – a juvenile – was spitting and cursing, and as a result, the doctor and a nurse pushed the teen’s face to the side to prevent him from spitting.
