There were 22 arrests for marijuana possession in Barrington in 2016

Marijuana Testimony

On behalf of the Police Chief’s Association, Chief Palmer of the Hopkinton Police

Department spearheaded an effort that involved documenting examples of marijuana-

related crime in every Rhode Island community. Each Rhode Island Chief of Police

contributed examples of serious criminal activity experienced in their local communities

in their efforts to address marijuana-related crime. Earlier this year, these examples

were presented to the Rhode Island state legislature in testimony given by Chief Palmer.

In February 2017, Barrington Police investigated a shooting on Kirby Street that occurred

at approximately 5:00 PM. Investigation revealed the suspect felt insulted and

disrespected over telephone text/calls about the quality of marijuana. He drove to the

victim’s house and fired three shots hitting the victim one time in the torso. The victim

initially was hesitant about providing information. The suspect was charged with assault

with intent to murder, using a firearm in a crime of violence, and carrying a firearm

without a license.

-Barrington Police Files

In February 2016, Barrington Police investigated a Home Invasion whereas multiple

suspects entered an occupied home. One suspect entered holding a shotgun. A male

victim was assaulted and suspects targeted a safe containing currency and marijuana

dabs.


In June 2015, Barrington Police investigated a Breaking and Entering into a house

whereas an unknown individual/s entered the house and targeted a licensed medical

marijuana grow in the basement. The suspect/s cut and stole mature marijuana plants

leaving behind just the base of the plant and stole grow equipment (environmental

controllers). A Glock 45 caliber handgun was also stolen from the residence.
