This story is about a silly man that left his own footprints in the snow.
On January 6th, 2010 at 10:08 p.m. Cranston police officers were called to Wentworth Ave. for a possible disturbance. Information was received and relayed to the responding officers that someone there had a gun and shots may have been fired. Upon arriving, officers located a Wentworth Ave resident who told the officers he had gone outside to assist a neighbor who was seeking help. The resident told police a man then came out of the front door of the neighbor’s home and fired at least one shot. No one was injured as a result, and that suspect fled from the area on foot.
Through their initial investigation, officers learned that three men with masks and pistols entered 108 Wentworth Ave. The home was occupied by a couple and their five children. One of the adults was able to get out of the house and sought help from neighbors. The masked men left with cash and other belongings from the home. None of the residents were injured during this incident. One of the masked men left the home and escaped through the rear of the property. Officers were able to follow his tracks through the snow to a garage nearby. The garage was surrounded by officers, and 19 year old Javon Lawson of Rutherglen Ave. Providence was found hiding inside. Lawson was taken into custody by police and a semiautomatic pistol was recovered nearby.
Javon Lawson is being charged with Burglary, First Degree Robbery, Assault with a Deadly Weapon in a Dwelling, Use of a Firearm While Committing a Crime of Violence, License Required to Carry a Pistol. Lawson will be arraigned in District Court today.
