SCITUATE — Two Rhode Island residents were taken into custody on separate charges, according to the State Police.
On July 15, at 9:45 a.m., Troopers apprehended Elijah Cyr, 21, of Cranston, for an active court bench warrant related to a failure to appear for an arraignment.
The original charge was driving with a suspended license as per the Providence Police Department.
