Brown neglected to stop and continued on Westminster a short distance before losing control of the delivery truck, mounting a curb and crashing through the chain-link fence at the Route 6/10 construction site and striking a parked excavator," according to the State Police.
Two construction workers, who witnessed the crash, approached Brown to check on his well-being. Brown, who exited the delivery truck holding the vehicle’s fire extinguisher, discharged the contents of the extinguisher at the two good Samaritans.
Brown then attempted to enter other vehicles parked at the construction site but was unable to do so and was again approached by the two workers as well as an occupant of one of the vehicles he struck. Brown assaulted one of the subjects and was eventually restrained until a Trooper, who was assigned to the construction detail, placed Brown into custody.
Brown was arraigned at Sixth District Court and given $10,000 surety bail. He was also found to be in violation of his bail conditions from previous simple assault and disorderly conduct charges out of Providence PD and was remanded to the ACI.
