Rhode Island state Rep. Enrique Sanchez (D-Provide

Rhode Island state Rep. Enrique Sanchez (D-Providence) pleaded guilty Friday to refusing a breathalyzer test, resolving part of the legal case stemming from his DUI arrest in February.

According to court records, Sanchez entered the guilty plea in the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal. In exchange, prosecutors dropped a charge of failing to obey traffic signals. The judge sentenced him to an alcohol treatment program, 10 hours of community service, and six months with an ignition interlock device on his vehicle. Sanchez must also pay more than $900 in court fees.

Sanchez was arrested in Cranston on Feb. 3 after an officer pulled him over near Reservoir Avenue. The officer reported that Sanchez appeared “confused” and that there was a “heavy odor of alcoholic beverage” on his breath.

According to police, Sanchez asked if he could call an Uber after declining to take field sobriety tests, which officers told him was not an option. He was then arrested on suspicion of DUI.

While Sanchez’s guilty plea settles the refusal charge, he still faces a DUI charge in Bristol County Superior Court.

Cranston police arrested three men in separate dru

Cranston police arrested three men in separate drug investigations this week, seizing large quantities of narcotics and weapons, authorities said Friday.

Police Chief Michael Winquist said the arrests send a clear message: “If you engage in drug trafficking in our community, we will find you, and we will hold you accountable.”

Traffic Stop Leads to Major Drug Seizure Teddy Lopez, 21, was pulled over Thursday morning at Park and Reservoir avenues for a seatbelt violation. A K-9 unit alerted officers to a hidden electronic compartment in his car, where they discovered 11 kilograms of cocaine, fentanyl, marijuana, and $1,700 in cash. The drugs have an estimated street value of $385,000. Lopez faces multiple drug trafficking charges.

Homeless Encampment Search Yields Drugs, Weapons Donald Iasimone, 40, was arrested Tuesday when officers searched a tent at a homeless encampment off Plainfield Pike near I-295. Detectives found crack cocaine, crystal meth, drug packaging materials, two BB guns, a knife, $443 in cash, and 30 stolen Walmart shopping carts. Iasimone is charged with drug possession with intent to deliver, weapons violations, and receiving stolen goods.

DEA Raid Uncovers Thousands of Fentanyl Pills A warrant executed at Jerry Taylor’s Cutting Avenue apartment Thursday led to the seizure of 2,500 fentanyl pills, fentanyl powder, pressed methamphetamine pills, psilocybin mushrooms, and an unidentified substance. Taylor, 27, is facing multiple felony drug charges.

Cranston police, working with the DEA, continue their crackdown on narcotics distribution, urging residents to report suspicious activity.
