Hearing today for Barrington teen facing murder charge

A bail violation hearing is set today for a Barrington teenager who faces a second-degree murder charge in the summer boating death of his friend Patrick Murphy.

Police say Ryan Greenberg was found with a group of friends and alcohol on April 19 near Brickyard Pond.

Greenberg, 17 at the time of the boating incident, had been free on bail since his arrest, and ordered to stay away from drugs and alcohol, submit to random drug testing and be on good behavior when he was released Jan. 2 to await trial.

He was sent to the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston to await today's hearing.

Last month, a patrol officer said he found more than a dozen beer cans on the ground, a 30-pack with more empty cans on the ground, and more than 15 full cans of beer in backpacks, along with a couple of bottles of Gatorade that apparently contained vodka.

Greenberg is set to appear in front of Special Magistrate Joseph A. Keough in Providence County Superior Court at 2 p.m.
