Naked man nabbed as he ran from N. Kingstown house

NORTH KINGSTOWN -- Police arrested a 26-year-old North Kingstown man early this morning after he tried to run naked from a 77-year-old woman's basement.

Daniel C. Walters of 169 Heritage Rd. was arraigned today at District Court, Wakefield, on the charges of breaking and entering of a dwelling when resident home, simple assault (on a police officer), resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and vandalism.

Police received a call around 1:30 a.m. from Faith Thibault, who was staying at her mother's house with her grandmother. When officers arrived, they found a basement window off of its hinges.

They later heard a male "growling" on the other side of the basement door.

When police opened the door, Walters allegedly tried to run and hit an officer. He was pepper sprayed and taken into police custody.

Capt. Charles Brennan said Walters told police that he had been under the influence of alcohol, Ecstasy and cocaine. Walters' clothes were found close to the house, on a path near Forest Park Elementary School.

Walters was ordered held in prison for violating the terms of his probation. His next court date was scheduled for July 17.
