RI Police Welfare Check Leads To Arrest For Weapons Poissession





[From article]
Cops were initially called to check on L’esperance Friday night after his wife found him in their basement and feared he had tried to kill himself. L’esperance fought with the officers, according to a police report. His wife told police L’esperance had pushed her, and he was charged with domestic assault and battery, assaulting a police officer, intimidating a witness, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
His wife took out a restraining order against her husband, which required him to surrender all his guns, and he told police he had just one shotgun at a relative’s house in Rhode Island. But his wife said there was a handgun at the Medway house, which prompted the search. L’esperance was tracked to a Rhode Island hospital and arrested by the Rhode Island State Police. He’s now facing charges of violating a restraining order and various gun and explosives charges.
