Westerly, RI asked in Family Law, Criminal Law and DUI / DWI for Rhode Island

Q: If there was any way I wanted to find an arrest record on my father how would I go about doing that?

I know he kidnapped me, and I would like the record of that, but I also know he was arrested for something regarding a machete and I would like to either be able to read it or something.... possibly to get another restraining order but not sure yet. He contacted me after a while because I sent him a long message asking him not to threaten my family (because he did) and I just want to know everything I can about him without talking to him so I can know what is best to do for my family but my mental health as well
