The Speaker of the RI State Senate was arrested for shoplifting condoms while a Senator. What a joke the state is.
Police arrested Ruggerio shortly after they arrived at the pharmacy to investigate the shoplifting complaint. The store manager told police she saw Ruggerio opening boxes in the toiletry aisle and putting packages into his sock.
Ruggerio paid for other items at the counter and walked out of the store. When police confronted him, a pat-down search yielded two packages of condoms from Ruggerio's left sock, one from his right sock, and another from his left pants pocket, a police report said.
