Joseph Paul Campagnone, 48, of 1650 Douglas Ave., Apt. 1106 in North Providence was arrested Oct. 6 at 11:30 p.m. on charges of making crank or obscene phone calls.
According to reports, Campagnone was fired from All Amerian Meats and Seafoods on Sept. 28 due to “poor work performance.” His former employer told officers that Campagnone began leaving intimidating voicemails to fellow employees, saying “I’m going to get you back.” On Oct. 1, police warned Campagnone not to call the business again.
Two days later, he allegedly called four more employees and left threatening messages. In one of those messages, Campagnone called the recipient a “target” and made obscene remarks about his wife, calling her a “wrinkled-up [expletive].” To another man, Campagnone said in his voicemail, “Bring the muscle ‘cause I’m bringing the muscle.”
Days later, North Providence Police took Campagnone into custody on an arrest warrant from North Kingstown Police Department.
