EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Police have charged a 25-year-old man with multiple felonies, saying he robbed a Domino's Pizza on Pawtucket Avenue at gunpoint, then tried to use a police cruiser to make his escape, colliding with other police cars in the process.
Lt. Michael David of the Detective Division said that Justin Thomas, 25, whose address has not yet been determined, was arrested Saturday night after police interrupted a robbery in progress at the pizza shop.
David said authorities had been alerted by customer who arrived to pick up an order but found no one in the Domino's.
David said that as Thomas, who had a gun, was running from officers, he was able to jump into a cruiser.
