Providence’s Duncan Powell Arrested on Domestic Charges in Rhode Island

A judge released him on personal recognizance with a no-contact order as separate Cranston and Providence cases move ahead.

Overview

  • Police in Cranston arrested Powell at gunpoint after a 1 a.m. Sunday call about a man with a gun, though officers found no weapon on him.
  • Reports say he threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend, himself, and others, and the woman told police he struck her earlier and put a tracking device under her car that officers later recovered.
  • Hours after the Cranston incident, Powell turned himself in to Providence police, who charged him with domestic assault in a separate case.
  • He appeared in Providence court Monday and was released on personal recognizance with a no-contact order, permission to travel to Texas, and a hearing set for April 13.
  • Providence College said it will follow its student-conduct process while police investigate, and the case follows his three-game Big East suspension in February for a flagrant foul.
