🚨 A Pawtucket man was arrested early Saturday a 🚨 A Pawtucket man was arrested early Saturday after allegedly stealing a Providence police cruiser and leading officers on a high-speed chase that ended in Connecticut, authorities said. The suspect, identified as 27-year-old Jared Remson, was stopped after a pursuit reaching speeds of over 100 mph, according to Connecticut State Police. The incident began around 2:30 a.m. when police were notified that the stolen cruiser was traveling southbound on Interstate 95 and crossing into Connecticut. State police spotted the vehicle near Exit 89 in Groton and attempted to pull it over, but the driver accelerated and exited onto Route 117. As the pursuit continued, Ledyard police deployed stop sticks along Route 2A near Harris Fuller Road, successfully deflating the vehicle’s tires and bringing it to a stop. Remson was taken into custody without further incident. He faces multiple charges, including reckless driving, first-degree larceny, engaging police in a pursuit, failure to drive in the proper lane, and interfering with an officer. Authorities are investigating how the Providence police cruiser was stolen. No injuries were reported during the chase. Remson is scheduled to appear in New London Superior Court on January 6. #providencepolice #ctstatepolice #rhodeisland #policechase #newportbuzz

U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) this aftern U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) this afternoon was sworn in by Vice President Kamala Harris for a fourth term representing Rhode Island in the U.S. Senate. His daughter Molly held the family bible. “It is an honor to represent the people of Rhode Island, and I work hard every single day to keep earning the trust they’ve placed in me. I’m in the middle of some big fights, and I will continue holding the powerful accountable, fighting for working people, and creating the conditions to the lead the planet to climate safety. No matter what comes over the next four years, I will always have Rhode Islanders’ backs,” said Whitehouse. Whitehouse will serve as the top Democrat on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee in the 119th Congress. Rhode Islanders first elected Whitehouse to the Senate in 2006. #sheldonwhitehouse #ussenate #newportri #rhodeisland #newportbuzz
Justice Juan Merchan has set Jan. 10 as the senten Justice Juan Merchan has set Jan. 10 as the sentencing date for President-elect Donald Trump, following his historic conviction in the hush money case involving adult film star Stormy Daniels. This moment marks the first time in U.S. history that a president—current or former—has been convicted of a crime, sending shockwaves through the political and legal worlds. The case stems from a $130,000 payment made by Trump’s then-attorney, Michael Cohen, to Daniels in the final days of the 2016 election. Prosecutors argued that the payment was meant to silence Daniels about an alleged affair with Trump, which he has consistently denied. A Manhattan jury convicted Trump in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal the payment. 🗨️ In his ruling Friday, Judge Merchan stated, “This court finds that neither the vacatur of the jury’s verdicts nor dismissal of the indictment are required by the Presidential immunity doctrine, the Presidential Transition Act, or the Supremacy Clause.” While the conviction authorizes a jail sentence, the judge signaled he is not inclined to impose incarceration, a position echoed by prosecutors who acknowledged that imprisonment is not a practical recommendation in this case. #donaldjtrump #potus #trump #newportbuzz
Newport Country Club has once again earned its pla Newport Country Club has once again earned its place among the elite golf courses in America. In its 2024-25 rankings, Golf.com listed Newport as the 77th best course in the United States, a seven-spot climb from the previous list. Founded in 1893 and one of the five original clubs that helped form the United States Golf Association, Newport Country Club’s legacy is undeniable. But as Golf.com notes, the course isn’t simply a relic of the past—it’s a living, evolving masterpiece. “Under the hand for many years of Ron Forse, this course only improved since Tiger Woods’ historic win over Buddy Marucci for the 1995 U.S. Amateur,” writes Golf.com. “The shapes and sizes of its bunkers are among the sport’s most diverse and serve as a timely reminder to modern architects that variety is a vital component to great architecture.” The recognition reaffirms Newport Country Club as a national treasure in the golf world and further solidifies its place in history. It remains the sole representative from Rhode Island on the prestigious list, standing out in a field of highly competitive courses. Newport’s recent ascension reflects ongoing efforts to enhance its features while preserving its storied charm. Forse’s influence has ensured that the course maintains its historic roots while adapting to the expectations of today’s golfers, keeping it fresh and challenging for players of all levels. As a host of landmark events—from the inaugural U.S. Open in 1895 to Tiger Woods’ breakout win three decades ago to the U.S. Senior Open in 2024—Newport Country Club has etched itself into the annals of golf history.
