Barrington police ticket Warren clam-digger

Posted

A Warren man who allegedly crossed over an Adams Point Road resident’s yard in order to dig clams is facing a fine.

The Barrington resident called local police a little after 7 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 10 to report a trespassing incident. The resident told police the man crossed onto the private property and was digging clams along the abutting shoreline.

While the report was not clear whether the Warren man was standing on private property or digging on public shoreline, it was clear that it was not the digger’s first time trespassing on the Adams Point Road resident’s land.

Police ticketed the Warren man and also notified the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management of the situation.
