The Providence Police Department tweeted Saturday that it is"criminally investigating the behavior of an off-duty officer last evening during a protest where a female was assaulted." Before dropping out of the state Senate race, Lugo sent a statement to CNBC appearing to defend his actions without denying that he punched Rourke.
Bartholomew, in an interview with CNBC, said that about 1,000 people had attended the rally to protest the Supreme Court's ruling, which on Friday morning struck down the legal precedents that had protected federal abortion rights for nearly 50 years.
