State police arrest E. Greenwich man after chase

An East Greenwich man is to be arraigned today after the Rhode Island State Police arrested him last night on several charges following a car chase.

The state police said in a news release that Joseph L. Cevoli, 36, with a last known address of 10 Barnes St., East Greenwich, was charged with possession of a stolen motor vehicle, eluding police/high speed pursuit, resisting arrest, operating on a suspended license, receiving stolen goods, and being a fugitive from justice for felony charges out of North Attleboro.

Cevoli was also arrested on warrants for failure to appear for home confinement review and for breaking and entering -- that originated out of North Kingstown.

The Providence police last night alerted other agencies to look out for Cevoli and a car in connection with an alleged breaking and entering in Providence. Charges are pending in Providence, according to the news release.

Details of the chase were not yet available.

Cevoli was slated for a morning arraignment and fugitive from justice hearing in District Court, Providence, the state police said.
