PROVIDENCE — A city parks supervisor arrested for an alleged road rage incident last week has been suspended without pay while the city conducts an investigation. Robert Kazarian, 51, of Johnston, was on duty and driving a Providence parks truck last Tuesday when he allegedly punched the driver of a car stopped in front of him on Dean Street at Kinsley Avenue.
Kazarian then allegedly scuffled with a witness while wielding a 4-foot long bolt cutter before driving away. Another motorist followed him and dialed 911.
The police found Kazarian at the Parks Department, where he was arrested on felony assault charges.
Kazarian is the supervisor of maintenance for the Parks Department. He has worked for the city since 1985. His salary is $64,000, according to Mayor David N. Cicilline’s office.
