At 11:05 a.m., troopers arrested Eric Reese, 59, of Woonsocket, on an active Fourth Division District Court bench warrant for failure to appear for a pretrial conference.

Reese was transported to the Lincoln Woods Barracks for processing before being taken to the Adult Correctional Institution Men’s Intake Center pending arraignment.
At 7:30 p.m., troopers arrested Jose De Brito Filho, 36, of Pawtucket, on an affidavit and arrest warrant charging him with larceny over $1,500, obstructing an officer, and disorderly conduct.
The charges stemmed from an investigation by the Lincoln Woods Barracks.

He was transported to the Lincoln Woods Barracks for processing, arraigned by a justice of the peace, and released with a future Sixth Division District Court date.
