NEW SHOREHAM, R.I. â Local and state agencies have battled over plans by Champlinâs Marina to expand on Block Island since 2003. .
Advocates for the expansion claim they want more access through the marina. Critics have called for limiting commercial development on the island, claiming that an expansion would hurt environmental resources.
Mangum is accused of buying guns from dealers in Providence, Woonsocket, Warwick, Cranston and North Kingstown, according to Neronha.
These four Providence men are alleged to have conspired with Mangun or solicited him to buy handguns: Brady Robinson, 27; Yovaniell Sostre, 25; Anthony Jaiman, 28; and Wascar Rivas, 25.
Mangum, Robinson, and Rivas will be scheduled for arraignment in Providence County Superior Court. Jaiman was arraigned Thursday in Providence County Superior Court. A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Sostre.
The indictments resulted from a multi-agency investigation that included the Providence police, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; and the attorney general s office, officials said.
Warwick police officers had stopped the Nissan Altima on Airport Road when Laboy jumped out of the front passenger seat and ran toward the intersection of Airport Road and Granger Court, according to Neronha.
As Laboy crossed Granger Court, officers saw him toss a silver Smith and Wesson SD40 pistol onto the street, Neronha said. Officers caught Laboy in the front yard of a home on Granger Court and also recovered the handgun, which was loaded with a full magazine and a bullet in the chamber, Neronha said.
In the 2017 incident, Laboy was part of a group of Bucket East gang members who had a courthouse confrontation with Bucket West gang members. That confrontation on Jan. 9, 2017, led to the drive-by shooting of Mathew DePina.
