NK Man Arrested On Charges of Disorderly Conduct

Boyd King, 44, of 60 Ripple Ln. was arrested Thursday night at 9:35 p.m. and charged with disorderly conduct, after police responded to a call of a domestic disturbance.

When officers arrived, they found King highly agitated and apparently intoxicated, according to police. King continued to curse loudly at officers and got even more agitated when he found out that someone in the neighborhood had called in the disturbance.

During their search, officers found narcotics in King's son's room. When officers told King he was under arrest and attempted to handcuff him, he folded his arms and said, "I didn't do [expletive]." Police were able to securely handcuff King after taking out a Taser and advising Kin go place his hands behind his back.

Once in the cruiser, King attempted to spit at an officer. His attempt, however, was thwarted by the Plexiglass divider. After police warned King he would be pepper sprayed if he did not cooperate, King continued to yell loudly in the back of the cruiser, calling officers "a bunch of tough guys."

After pulling Logee over, police observed that Logee had difficulty removing his license from his wallet and nearly dropped  his registration and proof of insurance. According to police, Logee stated he had been at an event for Frank Caprio in East Greenwich and had "a drink."
