Arrest, Multiple Citations Issued for Parties on Middle Road, Sakonnet Boulevard

At about 8:57 a.m. on April 14, an officer on patrol noted an illegally parked car at 45 Middle Road.

Police said that while the officer was taking down information on the car, he saw two women approaching from a home on Sakonnet Boulevard, which appeared to be hosting a loud party.

According to police, a woman holding a bottle of Andre pink champagne – URI student Cara C. Saluppo, 19, of 797 Linden Way, Franklin Lakes, NJ – was cited for underage possession of alcohol after a background check.

Police said that based on noise in the area and Saluppo’s citation, they went to 36 Sakonnet Boulevard to clear out a party. Police said about 50 to 60 people were on an outside deck, with 12 cars parked on the driveway and lawn of the home.

According to police, five tenants were cited for social host violations as a result:

• Emily E. Sciortino, 21
• Danielle P. Szewczuk, 21
• Nicole Vento, 21
• Nicole M. Falzone, 22
• Samantha N. Santore, 22

Police said the tenants were cooperative, and the party was cleared in about 10 minutes.

However, police said they were called back to the neighborhood at about 10:20 a.m. for a noise complaint.

Police said there were about 100 people at a party at 51 Middle Road, 10 of which were on the roof of the home. Police said that as they attempted to break up the party, people leaving were screaming, “**** the police.”

According to police, a fight broke out among eight to 10 men as they were leaving. Because of this, Kevin F. Reilly, 19, of 18 Fortin Road on the University of Rhode Island campus, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.

Police identified the tenants of the home as Alena T. Pepe, 22, and Danielle Director, 21.

CCRI Student Cited for Fighting at Charlie O’s

According to police, while monitoring the closing of Charlie O’s, they received a report that a man was fighting with two bouncers at the rear of the property.

Police said they separated Faucher from the bouncers. Police said that based on witness statements, as the bouncers attempted to stop an argument, Faucher jumped on the back of one of them.
