A Warren man was arrested Monday after he allegedly carjacked multiple people on Aquidneck Island and crashed two stolen vehicles.

Jaron Monroe, 37, is now facing several charges, including felony assault, according to police.

Middletown police said they were called to the Shaw’s on East Main Road just before 8 a.m. for an armed carjacking. The two victims told police they were stopped outside the supermarket when a suspect with a gun stole their Jeep.

A few minutes later, Newport police responded to a crash involving the stolen Jeep near the rotary at Admiral Kalbfus Road. The vehicle was disabled, police said, and the suspect allegedly got out, waved a handgun and threatened bystanders before fleeing on foot.
