Powell began driving, police say, and was stopped at Union Street. While getting his driver's license, the report says, officers saw a number of folded $20 bills in his wallet and some copper colored wire in the car, which police identified as used to smoke crack cocaine. There was a 3-year-old child in the car seat but not buckled in, the report indicates. While being searched, Powell actively resisted and swore repeatedly and his struggle caused injuries to one officer, police indicate.

Sept. 24

EVADING RESPONSIBILITY — At 3:09 p.m., Jon Hayden, 51, of Providence Turnpike, Hampton, was involved in an accident at Main Street Extension and Silver Street with a bicyclist and left the scene, according to the report. The bicyclist said he was hit by a black sedan while crossing the street, fell off and hit the ground, bruising and cutting his leg, police say. Hours later, the report says, Hayden's mother called police to report the collision and when police asked why he didn't call, she told them Hayden was deaf, could read lips, but didn't know American Sign Language.

When Hayden got out and tried to talk to the victim, the report says, he got up and moved to the side of the road, so he believed the man was uninjured.
