An off-duty Providence police officer is facing charges connected to alleged misconduct at a Roe v. Wade protest outside the Rhode Island State House on Friday.
Following a joint investigation by the two agencies, Lugo was charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct.. He turned himself in to the Rhode Island State Police barracks in Lincoln, police said, and he was arraigned and released on personal recognizance.
The incident remains under investigation, and Lugo has since tweeted that he is not running for office this fall. Police said two other arrests were made at Friday's demonstration. Jessica Burton, 39, of Warwick, was arrested for disorderly conduct, and Nicholas Morrell, 31, of Warwick, was arrested for disorderly conduct, weapons other than firearms, and resisting arrest.
