NEW: Watson Had Open Beer, Bag of Pot in Car
Monday, January 23, 2012
Former House Minority Leader Robert Watson had a can of Natural Ice, two bottles of Corona, a pipe with what appeared to be marijuana residue and a bag of pot in his car when he was arrested early Sunday morning.
The East Greenwich Republican also repeatedly swore at a police and asked, “do you know who I am” when he was being arrested, according to the South Kingstown police report.
The arrest was Watson’s second in less than a year. Last April, he was arrested for driving under the influence in East Haven, CT.
