Narragansett Man Arrested for Warrant; Dog Temporarily Seized

Cardoza Coston, 34, of 7 Judith Ave., Narragansett, was arrested at about 7:32 p.m. on Dec. 17. Police said a Fourth Division District Court warrant was out for Coston’s arrest for missing a court hearing related to a suspended license charge.

According to police, at about 6:40 p.m. two people filed a complaint against Coston, one of their roommates. The people said that Coston came home intoxicated on the night of Dec. 12 and got into a verbal argument, which escalated when Coston broke their property and his dog bit a person.

Police said a background check revealed a warrant out for Coston’s arrest. As a result, he was arrested without incident. Police said he was transferred to the ACI at about 9:10 p.m.

According to police, Coston was in possession of two dogs, and documentation about their shots and vaccinations was unavailable. As a result, a copy of Coston’s arrest report was forwarded to the animal control officer.

Police said that the ACO investigated on Dec. 18 and determined that the dog’s vaccinations were not up to date. As a result, the dog was seized and quarantined. Police said this was done without incident, and Coston was informed of the steps he would need to take to recover the dog.
