Coogan, responded to the EGPD lobby for a male party, Andrew Loffredo, turning himself in on a warrant. Sgt. Petrucci confirmed the warrant and I escorted Loffredo into the cell block. He was booked, photographed, fingerprinted, and placed in cell M-1 to await transport to Kent County Court.
Loffredo had previously told East Greenwich Police that men had come to his home to try to kill him and/or his family.
He told GoLocal in great detail about the events:
“I looked out the window, you know, I saw his car there with his lights on, so I went out to see what was going on. And as I opened the door (of his home), I saw two individuals. I have no lighting in my backyard, so I believe they were wearing all black, but, you know, because of how dark it was outside, I really couldn't see," said Loffredo.
"They were running towards the woods in my backyard, and I looked down and I saw a gun with a photo of my children in the chamber with their faces crossed off, and there was a note. Unfortunately, and as I expressed to the East Greenwich police officer who came up, I told them that I picked up the paper and the gun, and that my handprints were all over it. But as soon as I picked it up, I put it down. I mean, I was in shock,” added Loffredo.
Loffredo says East Greenwich Police and the Rhode Island State Police investigated the claim. He said drones and K-9 were deployed.
