PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A Pawtucket man was held without bail after he allegedly shot a firearm at police officers before leading them on a car chase through the city early Friday morning and crashing on Route 10.
No officers were injured.
Larenta Draper, 24, was charged with felony assault, using a firearm while committing a crime of violence, possession of a firearm after having previously been convicted of a crime of violence, possession of firearm without a license, drive-by shooting, reckless and eluding police, and resisting arrest at his arraignment in District Court Providence, according to court records.
According to Journal records, Draper has been involved in other violent incidents in Providence. In 2007 he was shot in the leg outside a pizza shop in South Providence. In 2011 he was shot again, while pumping gas in South Providence. He has served time at the Adult Correctional Institutions on charges of felony assault, shooting a gun, and carrying a firearm without a license.
Officers were on patrol in the area of Broad Street and Adelaide Avenue just after midnight Friday when they saw about 40 people running from the Aqua Lounge at 963 Broad St., and into the parking lot of a nearby CVS Pharmacy, Lt. George Smith said.
