East Greenwich Man Charged With 8^th License Violation

William A. Laliberty, 31, of 48 Virginia Ave., East Greenwich, was arrested at about 1:30 a.m. on Sept. 13 and charged with driving with a suspended license.

According to police, an officer monitoring traffic on Main Street clocked a gold Toyota at 38 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone. The officer then noted the car making a right-hand turn on to Kingstown Road, despite the sign with a warning of no right-hand turns on red.

A traffic stop was made on Kingstown Road. Police said a background check of the driver – Laliberty – revealed that his license was suspended.

Laliberty was arrested without incident. His car was moved to a nearby parking lot, because a passenger in the vehicle believed he was too intoxicated to drive.

According to police, the arrest was Laliberty’s eighth for a suspended license, dating back to July 2000. Police noted that his license was suspended in April 2012 after he pleaded no contest in traffic court to drunken driving.

Laliberty was processed and then released at about 2 a.m.
