WARWICK — A Warwick man was arrested Tuesday on a Superior Court bench warrant after state troopers assisted a disabled tractor-trailer on Interstate 95.
Brendan Handfield, 50, of 45 Algonquin Drive, was taken into custody at 5:56 p.m. for failure to appear for restitution on an original charge of insurance fraud, according to Rhode Island State Police.
Troopers discovered the outstanding warrant while assisting the disabled vehicle on I-95 South in Warwick.
Handfield was transported to the Wickford Barracks for processing before being transferred to the Adult Correctional Institution’s Men’s Intake.
