St. Laurent, 64, pleaded not guilty during his arraignment this afternoon in U.S. District Court, Providence, and was ordered held without bail by U.S. Magistrate Judge David L. Martin. "The indictment alleges that, in March and April, St. Laurent and others conspired to use extortionate means to collect extensions of credit from two men and to punish them for the non-repayment of those extensions of credit," the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a press release. The names of the two men have not been released. St. Laurent, a made member of the Patriarca crime family, was arrested about 7 a.m. today by FBI agents and state police detectives at his home at 2 Rotary Drive, in Johnston.
The authorities are familiar with the ranch house St. Laurent shares with his wife, Dorothy. It has been the site of arrests, searches and surveillance over the past 30 years. St. Laurent was recently released from a federal prison in Massachusetts. His lawyer asked Martin to put St. Laurent on home confinement pending trial because of a medical condition. -- Journal staff writer W. Zachary Malinowski.
