Providence police officer charged with obstruction of justice

A Providence police officer is facing charges of obstruction of justice, the Rhode Island Attorney General's Office announced on Friday.

Court documents claim the officer used his position as a police officer to help a friend with alleged gang affiliations avoid legal trouble.

Officer Alexander Caraballo was arraigned Thursday on two counts of obstruction of fellow Providence police officers in the execution of duty, two counts of obstruction of justice of the Sixth Division District Court, and one count of obstruction of justice of the Providence County Superior Court.
