NEWPORT — The green beer flowed, the bagpipes play NEWPORT — The green beer flowed, the bagpipes played, and the Newport Police Department’s arrest log from St. Patrick’s Day Parade weekend reads like a greatest-hits album of parade day mischief. After stripping out the names and focusing strictly on the charges, a clear theme emerges: some people brought their Irish spirit… and forgot the part about following the rules. Here’s how parade day stacked up. Parade Day Offense Totals Open Container in Public: 14 Disorderly Conduct: 9 Simple Assault and/or Battery: 4 Domestic Violence – Simple Assault: 1 Domestic Violence – Disorderly Conduct: 1 Resisting Arrest: 1 DUI: 1 Minor in Possession of Alcohol: 1 Willful Trespass: 1 Animals, Restraint Of: 1 The Big Picture The runaway champion of the day? Open containers, accounting for 14 of the arrests. Apparently the memo that you can’t walk around with a drink in public during the parade didn’t quite make it into everyone’s group chat. Next up was disorderly conduct, clocking in at nine charges, suggesting that at least a few parade-goers celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with a little too much enthusiasm. Things escalated later in the day with four simple assault charges, plus a handful of more serious issues including domestic violence, resisting arrest, and one DUI. Final Score All told, parade day produced 34 total charges across the city — a relatively small number considering tens of thousands of people pack downtown Newport for the annual celebration. In other words: most people enjoyed the parade responsibly. But if the arrest log proves anything, it’s this: In Newport on St. Patrick’s Day, the bagpipes aren’t the only thing getting loud. 🍀 #newportstpats #newportbuzz #newportri
