9:03 p.m. – Police arrested an East Greenwich woman, 33, for driving with a suspended license after she was pulled over on First Avenue because one of her headlights was out.

1:03 a.m. – While checking a vacant house on Grandview Road, police noticed egg all over the front window. Police could find no other damage. Police left a message for the person who is in charge of the house.

3:29 a.m. – While on patrol, police noticed two men sleeping in a parked car on Main Street near Peirce Street. Police knocked on the window to rouse the men. The driver woke first and appeared to be very confused. When police opened the car door, the officer caught a strong smell of alcohol coming from the driver. After some effort, the passenger was awoken. He, too, was confused and appeared to be drunk. Neither man spoke English well. Using rudimentary Spanish, police learned the mean had been working all day removing snow from rooftops and finished the day in East Greenwich, going out for drinks after. The driver said he had planned to sleep in the car overnight but because of the cold temperatures, police brought the men to the station. At 5 a.m., a man arrived to pick up the two men.

9:19 a.m. – An East Greenwich man told police a former tenant – whom he’d had evicted – turned off the heat and hot water pipes in the basement, causing the pipes to freeze and burst, flooding the apartment. The EG man said he was sure the tenant did it, since he was the only one who had access to the basement. Police said it was a civil matter.
