Police to Crack Down on Drunk Driving During Newport St. Patrick’s Parade Day – Newport Buzz

Law enforcement agencies across Aquidneck Island and Rhode Island are ramping up efforts to combat drunk driving as the Newport St. Patrick’s Day Parade takes over downtown on Saturday, March 15, 2025.
Officers from Newport, Middletown, Portsmouth, Jamestown, Tiverton, and the Rhode Island State Police will launch a joint DUI enforcement campaign, targeting impaired drivers before they pose a risk to others on the road.
The annual parade, a beloved tradition celebrating Newport’s Irish heritage, draws thousands of revelers. But officials say the festivities too often lead to dangerous decisions, with some attendees choosing to drive after drinking.
“Each year, we see preventable tragedies caused by impaired driving,” authorities said in a joint statement. “We’re urging paradegoers to plan ahead—use a rideshare, designate a sober driver, or take public transportation.”
Police officers and state troopers will be stationed along key routes in and out of the city, watching for signs of impairment. The Providence Police BAT (Blood Alcohol Testing) Mobile will also be deployed to expedite processing for those arrested.
The crackdown is backed by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation’s Office on Highway Safety and the Rhode Island Police Chiefs’ Association.
Officials are reminding attendees to celebrate responsibly and expect zero tolerance for drunk driving.

As March Madness looms, take a look at where Rhode Island’s Div. I basketball teams stand

Bryant coach Phil Martelli Jr. speaks after the Bulldogs beat UMBC
Top-seeded Bryant beats No. 8 UMBC 85-74 on Saturday to advance in the America East Tournament. They will host Albany in the semifinals next week.
With the March Madness Selection Show fast approaching (Sunday, March 16), let’s take a look at where our Division I men’s and women’s basketball teams stand in terms of their conference tournaments.
Some have seen their seasons come to an end (barring any invites to a postseason tournament), others are still chasing their conference crowns, and still others will begin conference tournament play this week.
Here’s a rundown of where Rhode Island’s teams stand:
🏀Women’s Basketball
∎The Bryant Bulldogs will play Tuesday, after dispatching Binghamton on Thursday, 66-63, in the America East Quarterfinals. No. 3 Bryant will travel to face No. 2 Vermont on Monday at 6 p.m.
∎The Brown Bears (12-15, 6-8 Ivy) ended their regular-season with a pair of wins, including Saturday’s 53-44 victory over the Yale Bulldogs in New Haven, Conn. Despite finishing with identical 6-8 conference records with Pennsylvania and tying for fourth place in the Ivy League, the Bears lost the tiebreaker (NET rankings) to the Quakers, and missed out on Ivy Madness, which will take place this week in Providence. The women’s teams playing for the Ivy League title will be Columbia, Princeton, Harvard and Penn.
∎The Providence Friars fell to Georgetown, 58-56, in the opening round of the Big East Tournament on Friday afternoon at Mohegan Sun. The loss ends the Friars season, who wrapped up the 2024-25 campaign at 13-19 overall, 6-12 in conference play.
∎After opening the Atlantic 10 Tournament with a 52-41 win over George Washington, the Rhode Island Rams fell to St. Joseph’s 53-50 in overtime on Friday, ending their tournament run. URI finishes the season at 17-16 overall, 11-7 in conference play.
🏀Men’s Basketball
∎The Bryant Bulldogs played like the No. 1 seed they are, topping UMBC 85-74 in Saturday’s quarterfinal round of the America East Tournament. Next up is another home game, against No. 4 Albany on Tuesday at 9 p.m. at the Chace Center.
∎The Providence Friars head to New York City’s Madison Square Garden as the No. 8 seed in the Big East Tournament. PC fell at Xavier 76-68 in Saturday’s regular-season finale to end their year at 12-19 overall, 6-14 in conference play, and will meet No. 9 Butler Wednesday at 4 p.m.
∎The Rhode Island Rams (18-12, 7-11 Atlantic 10) ended regular-season play on a high note Saturday, beating Fordham 86-67 on Senior Day. The two teams will meet again Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the Atlantic 10 Tournament in Washington, D.C. Rhody is the No. 10 seed, Fordham is No.15.
∎The Brown Bears saw their season end on Saturday, falling at home to Yale, 70-61. The loss eliminated the Bears from contention in the upcoming Ivy Madness tournament, which tips off Friday at Pizzitola Sports Center. Brown ends the year at 14-13 overall, 6-8 in conference play. The men’s teams playing for the Ivy League title in Providence will be Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth and Princeton.
