PLAINFIELD — A man with an apparent sweet tooth, a sleep deficit and allegedly in possession of several bags of heroin was arrested Tuesday at a Plainfield convenience store after police said he fell asleep while trying to make a milkshake.

At approximately 8:58 p.m., Plainfield police officers were dispatched to the Cumberland Farms store at 12 S. Main St. in Moosup after receiving complaints of a man, later identified as 37-year-old Randy Valade, nodding off while spending 40 minutes attempting to make a milkshake, according to a press release.

Police said they found Valade sleeping inside the store’s “Chill Zone” with a frozen drink in his hand.

Police said a woman, identified as 47-year-old Gina Mineau, was found slumped against a nearby wall outside the store. Both Valade and Mineau are homeless, police said.

A search found Valade and Mineau were both in possession of “numerous” bags of heroin. Mineau was also found to have suboxone, a narcotic sometimes used to treat drug addiction, on her person without a prescription, police said. Police said Valade resisted officer’s attempts to escort him to a cruiser and had to be restrained.

Valade was charged with possession of narcotics and interfering with a police officer. He was initially held on a $10,000 bond before being released on a promise to appear on the recommendation of the state Bail Commission.

Mineau was charged with two counts of possession of narcotics and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was initially held on a $5,000 bond, but was also eventually released on a promise to appear.

Valade and Mineau are due to appear Sept. 27 in Danielson Superior Court.
