PROVIDENCE -- Marco Riz, who is accused of carjacking, kidnapping and raping a woman, today waived his right to a bail hearing and agreed to be held at the Adult Correctional Institutions while a grand jury reviews the case.

If Riz is not indicted by Oct. 30, there will be a date set for review of the case.

The police say Riz kidnapped a woman from a Stop & Shop parking lot on Route 2 in Warwick, then drove her -- in the Ford SUV in which she was sitting -- to Roger Williams Park in Providence, where he is accused of raping her.

On June 17, Riz was arraigned in District Court, Providence, on two counts of first-degree sexual assault of a 30-year-old woman in Roger Williams Park on June 8.

On June 23, Riz was arraigned in Kent County District Court on charges of kidnapping, carjacking, and assault with a dangerous weapon, and first-degree robbery.

Riz was ordered held without bail at both arraignments.

Smart choice....he's illegal, just lost his job. Why not stay at the ACI? 3 squares meals a day, and a place to stay. Either way, we the taxpayers are paying for this illegal scum.

By the way, how does an illegal get 'fired' and 'drive under the influence of drugs and alcohol', when all I hear from the pro-illegal groups, is that the illegals in this state do not get any benefits?? Hmm......
