FIRE OFFICIAL SUSPENDED OVER DRUG ALLEGATIONS IN RHODE ISLAND
CHARLESTOWN, RHODE ISLAND - The governing board of the Charlestown-Richmond, Rhode Island Volunteer Fire Company has suspended the membership of an assistant chief who was arrested Friday on drug-related charges.
Rhode Island Fire Chief Thomas Burdick said the company's board of engineers decided Tuesday night to suspend Keith Boisvert, 26, of 107 Columbia Heights, from all activities.
"The suspension will run until his court case is resolved," Burdick said.
Rhode Island State Police uncovered a small bag of marijuana, a hypodermic needle, a metal spoon allegedly used to liquefy heroin, and pills identified as muscle relaxants in a search of Boisvert's vehicle during a traffic stop on Route 4 south in East Greenwich. The search came after Rhode Island police detected what they believed was the scent of marijuana, officials said.
