North Kingstown Man Goes To State Police To File Report, Gets Arrested For Drugs: Cops

NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI — A North Kingstown man went to the Rhode Island state police to file a report and ended up arrested on a drug charge, police said.

Steven Faiola, 55, was arrested about 9 a.m. Sunday on a charge of possession of a controlled substance, the Rhode Island State Police said in a media release.

"This arrest was the result of Faiola responding to the (Lincoln Woods Barracks) to file an incident report and subsequently being taken into custody," the release said.

State police Lt. Col. Robert Creamer failed to respond to a message asking about the incident Faiola had attempted to file a report about, what controlled substance he supposedly possessed and any other additional information regarding the arrest.

Faiola was taken to Our Lady of Fatima Hospital in North Providence for a mental health evaluation, then "turned over to the Adult Correctional Institutions Men's Intake Center," the release said.
