Officer Rose Michel was called to the corner of Toll Gate Road and Commonwealth Avenue, where the Jetta’s owner, a hospital security guard, had apprehended the man, later identified as Raymond Seely, 46, of 30 Washington St., Apt. 710, Central Falls, RI, according to the officer’s report.
Two hospital security guards were on the scene when Michel arrived. The officer who owned the Jetta and another, according to the report.
