Smoke-shop trial set to resume

State Police Sgt. Donald Devine Jr. said yesterday in court that he "never had a chance" to show a search warrant to members of the Narragansett Indian Tribe before a raid on a tribal owned smoke shop.

Devine is set to resume testimony today in the trial for seven members of the tribe, including Chief Sachem Matthew Thomas, who face misdemeanor charges -- including resisting arrest and fighting with the police -- related to the 2003 raid.

The trial is set to resume today in Superior Court, Providence, in front of Judge Susan E. McGuirl.
