Police allegedly arrested James Barsoum inside his Central Falls home, took him to jail, held him for hours, and then released him without charges. Now the fight is over the report. According to reporting from The Boston Globe / Globe RI and 12 News, Pawtucket police refused to release the arrest report, and the Rhode Island Attorney General’s office sided with withholding it because no charges were filed. That raises a serious question: If police can arrest someone, hold them, release them without charges, and then hide the report because there were no charges… how is the public supposed to know what happened? This is not just paperwork. Police reports are receipts. 📄 Story tips, resources & support 👉 https://www.thinblueliesmedia.com Submit police accountability tips, bodycam footage, public records, court documents, and local story leads. 👍 Like 💬 Comment 📢 Share 🔔 Subscribe #PoliceAccountability #PublicRecords #Bodycam #RhodeIsland #ThinBlueLies #WrongfulArrest #CivilRights #FirstAmendment #PoliceMisconduct #Transparency
