PROVIDENCE — Rhode Island State Police made two separate arrests overnight, including one for driving under the influence and another on an outstanding warrant.

At 11:05 p.m. Monday, troopers arrested Jacob Minot, 18, of Cumberland, Rhode Island, following a traffic stop on Route 195 in Providence.

Minot faces charges of driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor and/or drugs with unknown blood alcohol content, refusal to submit to a chemical test, and reckless driving.

This marks Minot’s first offense for driving under the influence.

In a separate incident at 4:29 a.m. Tuesday, troopers arrested Victor Avila Aguilar, 38, of Providence, during a traffic stop on Broad Street in Central Falls.
