Newport, Rhode Island, police released a video this week seeking the public's help identifying a man who intervened when women disrupted a hearing on offshore wind turbines.
A wind farm forum in Newport, Rhode Island, got a little heated last week when a man intervened after attendees raised concerns about offshore wind turbine structures, one of which recently fell apart and left debris in the ocean. In a video shared on Facebook by the Newport Police Department, a woman is seen standing in front of the crowd wearing a pair of gloves and holding what she claimed to be a fiberglass shard that washed ashore from the damaged turbine.
When asked what, if any, charges the man would face, police said there was no further information to add, noting it's an ongoing investigation. The Newport Buzz, a local blog, shared on X that less than 12 hours after it discovered the man from the meeting was 'featured prominently' on the campaign website of U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., changes were made to the site.
The snapshot taken from the senator’s campaign site Wednesday shows Whitehouse bumping fists with a woman wearing a hard hat and a person standing behind the senator also wearing a hard hat. Three people were not wearing hard hats in the photo, including Whitehouse and the man from the meeting, who is looking at the camera. Fox News Digital has reached out to Whitehouse's office seeking information about why the image was swapped and what the man’s connection is to the senator.
