WOONSOCKET, R.I. - - A man who went to a residence allegedly looking for crack but without money to pay for it wound up in the hospital with stab wounds early Tuesday morning, according to Woonsocket police.

Spencer Eason, 46, of 30 Ascension St., Woonsocket, was listed in stable condition at Rhode Island Hospital, according to Lt. Eugene Jalette of the Woonsocket Police.

Eason allegedly went to Teryl Foster's apartment at 73 West St. in Woonsocket looking to buy crack cocaine. Foster refused to open the door when he discovered Eason had no money. An altercation ensued after Eason kicked in the door, according to Jalette. Foster then grabbed a knife and the two men struggled, Jalette said. Foster then grabbed another knife and stabbed Eason three times.
Foster's girlfriend and a child were present during the incident.
Spencer was charged with burglary and remains hospitalized. Foster was charged with possession with intent to deliver crack cocaine. He is being held at the Adult Correctional Institution as a bail violator.

"#5, never sell no crack where you rest at, I don't care if they want an ounce, tell em' bounce!" Amateur hour.

First of a people only put in a police report or the newspaper what they think is the truth. Noone has any right to judge leave that to GOD. And take a look in your own back yard before throwing stones
