Alex Menendez-Mendez, 23, of Providence has been taken into custody by Immigration Customs Enforcement agents, who were notified after Providence police detectives interviewed Menendez-Mendez. The police said they learned during the interview that Menendez-Mendez had illegally entered the U.S. from Guatemala about three years ago. The news release this evening said detectives learned the identity of "one of those persons" who installed or helped install the boiler. The release made no mention of whether Menendez-Mendez will be charged by the police, but it said the investigation into the South Providence deaths continues. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P.

Providence set a record for rainfall of 1.16 inches, eclipsing the old record of 1 inch set in 1922, the National Weather Service reported. More rain may be on the way, with tonight's forecast predicting showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 9 p.m. But tomorrow is forecast to be mostly cloudy, gradually becoming sunny with a high of around 48 degrees. A conflicted-personality month has so far delivered an overnight temperature of 8 degrees on Jan. 3, and a record high temperature of 66 degrees on Jan. 8. This morning the National Weather Service issued urban and small stream flood advisories for Bristol, Kent, Providence and Washington counties, bringing an unseasonably warm week to a soggy end. Many commuters this morning reported seeing lightning, as it flashed across the sky in downtown Providence. A Johnston house was damaged this morning when it was struck by lightning, according to its owner, Frank Romano. Romano said his wife and two young children were inside the two-story house at 161 Bishop Hill Road when they heard a loud explosion that shook the house. No one was injured but the siding near an outdoor faucet was blown away, according to Romano. The house lost electricity and a basement window was also damaged, Romano said. He also said he believes that two holes in the ground about 15 feet from the building were caused by lightning. Lincoln Mall's main buildings lost power at about 8 a.m. after lightning struck a utility pole at the front of the property and burned out a main transformer. Mall manager Donna Begin said maintenance crews had been at the mall, on George Washington Highway, installing temporary generators and were working to replace the ruined transformer. Temporary generators restored power to a Stop & Shop supermarket that is part of the mall campus. Some emergency systems in the main buildings were also back on line through use of temporary generators. The smaller buildings had their own power. Begin said she hopes to have power restored by about 8:30 tonight. -- projo.com staff writers Michael P. McKinney and Brandie M.

It was a week, then, that saw at least two weather records shattered, but not the kind you might expect in January. On Tuesday, Providence recorded a high of 66 degrees, busting the 62-degree record set in 1930.

Mall manager Donna Begin said maintenance crews had been at the mall, which is on George Washington Highway, all day installing temporary generators and were working to replace the ruined transformer. She said the lightning struck the utility pole at the front of the property and the energy passed through power lines leading to the mall's main building. Temporary generators restored power to a Stop & Shop supermarket that is part of the mall campus.

No one was hurt in the incident, and power is expected to be restored by 5 this afternoon, according to URI Communications Director Linda Acciardo. All the buildings affected are administrative and/or academic buildings that are connected by the same electrical loop, one of several that serve the Kingston campus, she said. Workers, under conditions provided by state law, were given the opportunity to leave for the day. The power went out around 10 a.m. after the worker hit the cable saw while working on the floor of Lippitt Hall, one of the campus's original granite buildings. Built in 1897, Lippitt faces the quadrangle and was at one time home to URI's basketball court. The $8.5 million renovation plan calls for converting the hall, which has housed an academic computer center, into a fully academic building for the mathematics department and honors program. Acciardo said that the local fire department responded to the campus, and that the Occupational Health and Safety Administration has been contacted. No research projects at the campus appear to have been affected. The contractor on the project is A.F. Lusi Construction.

Keith Sampson testified during the trial that he never had a sexual relationship with the teenager. But the jury found him guilty yesterday of raping the girl at a Taunton hotel in January 2005. The jury acquitted Sampson of another charge that he raped the girl at his home. The student, now 18, testified that she had a four-month sexual relationship with the instructor that began during a trip to Germany. Sentencing is set for February 22. The 29-year-old Sampson also faces charges that he raped another girl he met at a dance studio in Johnston. The police have accused him of giving the girl alcohol, then assaulting her at his home in Easton, Mass. -- The Associated Press Posted by Mike McKinney at 2:13 PM | Comment Jurors deny racial remarks in Cape murder caseBARNSTABLE, Mass. -- Several jurors who convicted a black trash collector in the murder of a white fashion writer denied today that racially charged remarks were made during deliberations. Their testimony came on the second day of an unusual hearing into whether their verdict against Christopher McCowen was tainted by bias. Judge Gary Nickerson finished interviewing the jurors today and scheduled another hearing for Jan. 18, when he will hear from two experts testifying for McCowen about the general effect of race on jury deliberations. The judge said he would then decide whether the remarks made in the jury room influenced the verdict in any way. Nickerson has said he could order a new trial if he found that bias affected McCowen's conviction for the rape and fatal stabbing of Christa Worthington at her Cape Cod home in January 2002. Yesterday, juror Roshena Bohanna, who is black, testified she was offended when one female juror said the bruises on Worthington's body would have been caused by a "big black guy." Bohanna said that comment and several others seemed to show racial bias on the part of several white jurors. Today, juror Taryn O'Connell, who is white, said the remarks were not disparaging and were used only to describe McCowen's race. "It was always used descriptively," O'Connell said. Juror Matthew Maltby, who is also white, said he recalled the juror who made the remark telling Bohanna that "it doesn't have anything to do with race. The defendant is big and black." Maltby also said he recalled the jury foreman telling other jurors that race should not play a role in their decision. "He said, 'We want to make sure we get this right - totally right - because race does not come into it,' - and it didn't," Maltby said. Nickerson continually had to remind the jurors today that he was interested only in what was said in the jury room, not their opinion on whether the words had racial overtones. McCowen, who was Worthington's trash collector, claimed he had consensual sex with her but that his friend killed her. His defense maintains authorities wrongly focused on him as a suspect because they did not believe Worthington, a 46-year-old writer who had covered fashion in New York and Paris before moving to the small town of Truro, would have a consensual relationship with a black garbage man. -- The Associated Press Posted by Jack Perry at 1:36 PM | Comment Red Sox trophy hits the road to ConnecticutThe Boston Red Sox World Series trophy made a field trip today ... to Connecticut. The trophy was in Nova Scotia, Canada, on Monday and taken to locations there on Tuesday. The trophy also visited Vermont last month. But don't fear, Rhode Island Sox fans. Pam Ganley, a Red Sox spokeswoman, said by email today that the plan is to visit Rhode Island with the trophy. "We have been in touch with the governor's office and will likely have an event in April in conjunction with the Pawtucket Red Sox," Ganley's email said. Larry Luchino, team president and chief executive officer, led a group of team officials traveling from Fenway Park to the Nutmeg State today "in order to thank Connecticut fans for their support during the 2007 season," according to a news release by Gov. M. Jodi Rell's office. According to a report by WTNH-TV Channel 8, no players are part of the Connecticut tour. Connecticut residents -- and Rhode Islanders who happen to be in the area -- can see the trophy from 2:15 to 4 p.m. in Hartford in the first-foor rotunda of the state Capitol building. The trophy was slated to already have been on display in New Haven from 10 to 11 a.m. -- projo.com staff writer Michael P. McKinney “We couldn’t be happier about bringing the trophy to the ever-increasing number of Connecticut fans who have supported us over the years,” said Lucchino. “Connecticut is a cornerstone of Red Sox Nation, and our supporters in Connecticut deserve to see this trophy that they helped bring back to Fenway.” Rell, a confessed Yankees supporter who hails from western Connecticut, which is better known for Yankees fans than Sox supporters, invited the team and is scheduled to be on hand to greet representatives today.

Researchers at the University of New Hampshire have measured just how mild winter is getting. Their study of weather station data from across the Northeast from 1965 through 2005 found temperatures from December through March increased by an average of 0.70 degrees a decade. In New England, snowfall declined about 3 inches a decade. The biggest snowfall decreases were in December and February. And this past Tuesday, a record high for the day was set in Rhode Island, at 66 degrees. Weather experts said then that last year gave us the warmest January on record. Before that it was 2006. Before that, it was 2005. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 11 of the warmest years since record keeping began have occurred in the past 12 years. Meteorologists who have studied long-term climate trends said the observations appear to be in line with other research. -- The Associated Press and projo.com reports Posted by Mike McKinney at 12:14 PM | Comment Reporter's query: Seeking tales of being a bridesmaidIn the new movie 27 Dresses, Katherine Heigl has been a bridesmaid 27 times and has a closet full of nightmare dresses to show for it.

As a matter of fact, you just saw her walking down the street with someone. But what if you had received a text message from the Police Department minutes after she had gone missing? You could let the police department know, within seconds, where you saw her last, describe the person she was with, which direction she was going. Calling it "the next step in our use of technology," Col. Dean Esserman, Providence police chief, announced a partnership with Citizen Observer, a system that sends alerts using email and the ever-present text message, and lets people send anonymous tips to the department via texting. The department has been researching an alert system for the past year, according to Chief Steven Melaragno who is the architect of this program, along with Lindsay Richardson, of the chief's office. The system, for which the department will pay $12,000 for a two-year subscription, will allow for greater communication with the community, Melaragno said, and will offer alerts in English and Spanish. You can sign up online for the service here. Melaragno said text messages are sent through an encryption service before they reach the police station, ensuring anonymity. Even so, he said, research in other cities -- such as Boston, which uses a similar service -- has shown it takes several months for potential users to feel comfortable with that claim. In about six months, the department plans to review use, and analyze whether its worth the cost. -- projo.com staff writer Brandie M.

The police responded to 173 Hancock St. after receiving a 911 call at about 4:40 p.m. from a woman who reported that she had been stabbed in the neck. Sgt. James Costa, Det. Michael Miguel and patrolman Brendan McKinnon found the 47-year-old woman bleeding from her lower neck, crying and hyperventilating, according to Deputy Chief Nicholas Maltais. The woman told the police that she had argued with William A. Pelletier, 64 – who shares the house with the woman and his brother, her boyfriend – and he had stabbed her with a folding knife, Maltais said. The woman’s boyfriend was not home at the time. Pelletier left the house before the police arrived, but the police were able to stop him nearby on Hurst Lane after a neighbor reporting seeing his car drive by. The police recovered the suspected weapon in the parking lot of New Harbor Mall, in neighboring Fall River, Maltais said. Pelletier was arrested on a charge of domestic assault with a deadly weapon and he was held overnight for arraignment today in Newport District Court. The woman was taken to St. Anne’s Hospital, in Fall River, before being transferred to Rhode Island Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition this morning, the police said.

If the measure receives final approval, it would go into effect later this year and follow the lead of New York City, which banned trans fats in November 2006. Many restaurants in Boston say they have already eliminated trans fat in cooking and a number of fast-food chains have also stopped using the substance in the wake of the New York ban. A bill pending before the Legislature would impose a statewide ban on trans fats, which medical researchers have linked to clogged arteries and heart disease. -- The Associated Press Posted by Brandie Jefferson at 8:17 AM | Comment Judge will continue to probe jurors in Cape murderBARNSTABLE, Mass. (AP) -- Jurors who convicted a black garbage man in the murder of a white fashion writer traded allegations of racism Thursday in an unusual public hearing called by the judge to determine whether their verdict was tainted by racial bias. Lawyers for Christopher McCowen sought the hearing after three jurors accused three others of making racially derogatory remarks while deliberating whether McCowen raped and fatally stabbed Christa Worthington in her Cape Cod home in January 2002. If the judge finds bias affected their November 2006 verdict, he could order a new trial. Judge Gary Nickerson acknowledged it was "an extraordinarily unusual" hearing then started to question the jurors individually in open court, but out of earshot of the other panelists. Each of the first four questioned by midday described racially charged deliberations. Roshena Bohanna, who is black, told him two women on the panel referred to the defendant as a "big black guy" and said they were afraid of him. Bohanna said Marlo George, who is white, in trying to convince fellow jurors that McCowen had caused the bruises on Worthington's body, said, "If a big black man hits a woman, then she gets those bruises." Bohanna said she and George became confrontational when she asked what McCowen's race had to do with the bruises and accused her of racism. The jury foreman had to call for a break. George denied referring to McCowen's race during that discussion but acknowledged she described McCowen as a "200-pound black man" while arguing that McCowen went to Worthington's house looking for sex the night she was killed. She said she used the term black "merely as a descriptive element," and said after Bohanna took offense, she told her she didn't mean anything derogatory by it. Bohanna also told the judge she overheard juror Eric Gomes, a dark-skinned man Cape Verdean descent, tell a white female juror that he does not consider himself black. When Bohanna later had the confrontation with the white juror, she said she heard Gomes say, "That's the reason why I don't like black people. Look at the way they act." On Thursday, Gomes denied ever saying he did not like black people. "Absolutely not," he said. Carol Cahill, who is white, said Bohanna accused all the jurors of being racist during deliberations and herself used a slur toward a white female juror. "She said, 'You're just a 'cracker from the South' or 'a southern cracker,'" Cahill said. When the judge asked Cahill if she ever said she was afraid of "a big black guy," she said: "I did say that I felt 'intimidated' ... the fact that I was making a decision for his life," Cahill said. She denied ever referring to his race. McCowen, who was Worthington's trash collector, claimed he had consensual sex with her but that his friend killed her. His defense maintains authorities wrongly focused on him as a suspect because they did not believe Worthington, a 46-year-old writer who had covered fashion in New York and Paris before moving to the small town of Truro, would have a consensual relationship with a black garbage man. The judge interviewed seven jurors Thursday and ordered all 14 back to court Friday. He told them not to talk about the case with anyone. McCowen's attorney, Bob George, said the hearing so far proved McCowen did not get a fair trial. "There is no doubt in my mind that the jury deliberations in this case have been tainted by racial bias," he said. District Attorney Michael O'Keefe left court without commenting.
