Providence Municipal Court Chief Justice Frank Caprio opens the passenger side back door of a metallic blue 2018 Lincoln Navigator parked on the side of the private Aurora Club Civic Association in Providence’s Federal Hill. It’s the place where he is permanent director and has been a member for more than fifty years, and he has lunch there on an almost daily basis.
It’s past normal lunch hours on a crisp fall day, and Caprio is helped down from the back seat by the driver of the vehicle, the intimidating in size, but approachable in personality, retired Providence Police officer Simon Sarkisian, who now works for the “Caught in Providence” production team, Citylife Productions.
