Warrants issued for two Rise of the Moors members; wanted on firearms and bail violation charges

 

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Attorney General Peter F. Neronha, Commissioner of Public Safety Steven M. Paré and Colonel Hugh T. Clements, Jr. announced felony charges against a member of Rise of the Moors following a joint investigation by the Providence Police Department and the Office of the Attorney General into illegal firearms in the greater Providence area.

 

Investigators obtained an arrest warrant for Quinn Cumberlander (age 40) for three counts of providing false identifying information to purchase a firearm. Cumberlander is currently in custody in Massachusetts facing charges there.

 

It is alleged that Cumberlander provided false address information during multiple attempts to purchase firearms from a dealer in Warwick. On three separate occasions in 2021, Cumberlander applied to purchase a firearm using false information but was denied in every instance.

 

Providing false information to purchase a firearm is a felony crime in Rhode Island, punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000 and/or imprisonment for up to five years.

 

The Office of the Attorney General also obtained an arrest warrant for Jahmal Talibabdulla Bey (age 29, alias Jahmal Latimer; Jahmal Abdulla Bey) in Providence County Superior Court for violating the terms of his bail stemming from an ongoing criminal case in Superior Court. Bey is currently in custody in Massachusetts.

 

Bey was arrested on March 4, 2020 by the Rhode Island State Police and charged with one count each of obstructing a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest. Bey’s case is currently pending before the Providence County Superior Court. He was released on bail prior to his arrest by the Massachusetts State Police on July 3.

 

Authorities in Massachusetts have been notified of the arrest warrants issued for Cumberlander and Bey. Cumberlander will face the Rhode Island charges pending a bail determination in Massachusetts. Bey is currently held without bail in Massachsuetts.

 

The Providence Police Department and the Office of the Attorney General are leading the investigation and prosecution of the case against Cumberlander.

President Trump says Israel and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire. Trump posted, "there will be a complete and total ceasefire." Trump adds this is an "official end to the 12-day war" and it "will be saluted by the world." He concluded by saying, "God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and God bless the world!"        The NATO summit at The Hague in the Netherlands on Tuesday will have a different agenda. The meeting comes right on the heels of the ceasefire between Iran and Israel that was announced by President Trump on Monday. NATO leaders will now discuss the U.S. and perhaps NATO's involvement in that peace process.        The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to deport convicted criminals to so-called "third countries" even if they have no connection to the nation. It puts a hold on a federal judge's ruling that said those being deported should have a chance to bring claims that they would be at risk of persecution or death if sent to the countries. All three liberal judges on the court dissented.        Governor Abbott is taking steps to keep the Texas hemp industry going. On Sunday, the governor vetoed a bill that called for a state ban on THC products. The action potentially starts a minor feud between Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, who had pushed for the ban.        The U.S.'s abortion rates are on the rise. According to data from the Society of Family Planning, in 2024, abortions totaled one-point-14 million despite years of bans and restrictions on reproductive care. The report found abortions delivered via telehealth have jumped significantly since Roe v. Wade was overturned, but the majority of abortions still happened in person.        Sales of previously owned homes rose slightly in May to an annual rate of just over four-million units. According to the National Association of Realtors, existing home sales edged up eight-tenths percent for the month, but were still down from May of last year. Housing analysts were predicting a one-percent decline as mortgage rates remain high.
