He serves on the city’s safety services committee.
A
Rhode Island
city councilman was caught passed out with a crack pipe and lighter in his hand, and the arrest was captured on police body camera footage.
41-year-old
Matthew Reilly
was found sleeping in a car on Monday by a police officer who said he was flagged down by a concerned citizen who saw Reilly choking in his sleep.
Reilly
is a councilman for the city of
Cranston
, the second-largest city in the state.
The video captures the officer expressing shock when he looks at
Reilly
's identification.
"No way, dude, really?" he says.
Reilly
tried to persuade the officer to let him go by claiming that he had sleep apnea, but the officer pointed out on the video that he cannot ignore the crack pipe because of his body camera recording the footage.
When further questioned by the officer,
Reilly
admitted that he had relapsed and said that he had just gone through a difficult divorce. Investigators said the vehicle was littered with trash and personal items.
He was arrested after officers found a substance in the car that tested positive for crack cocaine.
Another officer expressed concern that the driver's seat of the vehicle had white powder all over it, and if the suspect's mother came to pick up the car she might be exposed to crack cocaine or even fentanyl.
He was arrested and charged with one count of possession of crack cocaine.
At the end of the video,
Reilly
expresses his concern that knowledge about the arrest might be obtained by the media.
Reilly
has since stepped down as the chairman of the
Cranston Party
. He is scheduled to appear in court on June 15th.
Council President Jessica Marino
said in a statement that the charge against
Reilly
is “very concerning and disappointing" but that he was innocent until proven guilty.
“Call a SPADE, a SPADE; and a TRANNY, a TRANNY, or an IT!!!”.
