Pawtucket Driver Gave Cops The Slip But Later Caught While Walking: Cops

PAWTUCKET, RI — A Pawtucket man slipped away from a traffic stop but was later caught walking along the road, police said.

Enrique Sosa, 23, was arrested shortly before 3:30 a.m. Wednesday and charged with reckless driving — eluding law enforcement and driving with a suspended license, and on a warrant charging him with failing to appear for an arraignment in a driving with a suspended license case, the Rhode Island State Police said in a media release.

Police tried without success to pull Sosa over on Smithfield Avenue, according to the release, but troopers later spotted him walking along Smithfield and arrested him.

"Sosa was processed at the Lincoln Woods Barracks and held overnight pending morning arraignment/presentment as a probation violator at Sixth Division District Court," the release said.
