RI driver refused to leave flooded car. Then police looked inside

A wet car put a Warwick driver in hot water last week. Amid heavy rainfall on Friday, Nov. 6, the Warwick police responded after the 53-year-old man's car became partially submerged at the Lincoln Avenue train trestle, the police said in a Facebook post . The driver refused to get out of the car "to avoid getting wet until a tow truck pulled the vehicle from the floodwater," the police said. "The concern was water getting into the vehicle. What was already inside became the bigger issue," the police said. Responding officers discovered that the driver had a suspended license. They also saw a "glass pipe commonly used to smoke crack" on the car's floor. A search uncovered methamphetamine and crack cocaine, the police said. The driver was arrested. "We’ll give him this: during the lengthy wait for the tow truck, he left everything in place, including the items officers would later seize," the police said. "His focus appeared to remain on keeping his feet dry." The police added, "A reminder: flooded roads are a reason to turn around."
