According to police, Vasquez claimed that the woman was his girlfriend, and he and a friend claimed that they had just argued with the victim, and not assaulted him.

At this point, police arrested Vasquez. He was processed and then released at some point after 12:18 a.m. Police said he was given a ride to his home.

However, at about 2:28 a.m., police received a report of Vasquez and three other men harassing the occupants of a home on Bayberry Hill Road, where the same woman from the earlier incident lived.

According to police, the other men involved were all URI students, and identified as:

  • Chadd G. Rampini, 21, of 55 Hope Lane, Narragansett
  • Brandon M. Parillo, 21, of 55 Hope Lane, Narragansett
  • Brian W. Keane, 19, of 11 Fraternity Circle, Kingston

All three were charged with disorderly conduct and assault. Vasquez was charged with domestic assault and domestic disorderly conduct.

Police said that based on witness statements, Vasquez came to the home to see if the woman was with the man he had assaulted earlier in the night. Police said the woman and the man were together at the home.

According to two housemates of the woman, Vasquez shoved her and angrily confronted her and the man on two separate occasions, about 10 minutes apart. The housemates and the male victim said that Rampini, Parillo and Keane assaulted him while Vasquez spoke to the woman.

Police said that based on the interviews, all four were arrested. Police noted that the female victim in the case was uncooperative, and while trying to obtain a statement from her, she was calling other friends and telling them to refuse to cooperate with police.

Following his second arrest, Vasquez was held for arraignment at Fourth Division District Court on Thursday morning. Rampini, Parillo and Keane were processed and then released at about 7 a.m.
