Providence College Basketball Player Faces Domestic Violence Charge

Powell was arrested after threatening his ex-girlfriend and others, with police finding no weapon; he averaged 4.6 points in 22 games this season, Providence College said.

  • On Sunday, Cranston Police arrested Providence College basketball player Duncan Powell on a charge of domestic disorderly conduct after responding to a residence on Plainfield Pike following reports of a man with a gun.
  • Witnesses reported that Powell arrived at the residence earlier, allegedly threatening to kill everyone inside, including his ex-girlfriend and her friends. Police detained him at gunpoint, though a search revealed he was not carrying a weapon.
  • The NCAA and Big East previously punished Powell for what were described as "combative actions" during a game, resulting in a three-game suspension after a Flagrant 2 foul against St. John's in February.
  • Officials scheduled Powell for an arraignment Monday morning. Providence College has no comment on the arrest of the 23-year-old forward, who retains no eligibility to play for new coach Bryan Hodgson.
  • Transferring to Providence for the 2025-26 season, Powell played under coach English, who was fired after three years with no NCAA Tournament appearances. The program is now transitioning under Hodgson, introduced last week.
