Fall River Police Arrest Man Twice in Two Days for Trespassing, Drug Possession

Vincent Valois, a 34-year-old Fall River man with a lengthy criminal history and several outstanding warrants, was arrested twice within two days. On Monday, Valois was charged with trespassing after leading police on a brief foot pursuit near South Main Street following complaints from downtown business owners about trespassing and disturbances. The next day, police found Valois bleeding from a stab wound to his leg near Second and Wade streets, where he acted belligerently, refused commands, and aggressively advanced toward officers, even demanding to be shot. After officers deployed tasers without success, they subdued and arrested him, discovering about one gram of powdered cocaine and 0.8 grams of crack cocaine in his possession. Valois declined medical treatment and was taken to the police department for booking. The incidents highlight ongoing concerns from local businesses regarding late-night trespassing and drug-related disturbances downtown.
