The woman told police that Rollins had punched her at about 6 p.m. after she saw him walked toward her mother’s car, with the car keys. She told police that he lived in Providence, and a bulletin was issued for his arrested.

Providence police arrested Rollins shortly after the bulletin was issued, and he was picked up by South Kingstown police at about 7:37 p.m. He was held overnight for arraignment at Fourth Division District Court on Dec. 28.

Wakefield Man Charged With Possession of Marijuana, Alcohol

According to police, an officer noted a silver Volkswagen driving on Old Tower Hill Road without its lights on. A traffic stop was made near Old Mountain Field.

Police said that while speaking with Albino, he and three passengers smelled strongly of marijuana. Albino told police that he had smoked earlier with them, and he gave police permission to search his car.
