(Providence, RI) -- A large number of arrests were made at an after-hours biker hangout spot in Providence this weekend. The Providence Police Department says seventeen people were arrested in total at the locale on Charles Street at around 3 a.m. Sunday. An officer was initially on the scene ticketing cars that were illegally parked. While one was getting towed, someone attempted to gain access to the vehicle and was arrested for reportedly refusing officer commands. The Providence PD says police were then surrounded by people from the hangout who obstructed the arrest.
