Cranston Man Charged with DUI in Highway Fatality
A 21-year-old woman died after she jumped from a car on Route 95 around 3 a.m., the State Police said. A 48-year-old Cranston man who was behind the wheel is being charged with driving under the influence.
Forty-eight-year-old Joseph Aloisio of 3 Kiki Circle, Cranston, has been charged with driving under the influence and refusing a chemical test after a 21-year-old woman riding in his car jumped out on Route 95 and was killed.
The Rhode Island State Police said the accident occurred in the southbound lane near the Washington Street overpass. Highway lanes were shut down for about an hour-and-a-half during the police investigation.
The woman has been identified Erica Moul of Smithfield and police said it appears that she jumped out of the car. Her cause of death has not been determined, although she was not struck by any vehicles on the road.
Aloisio is free on $1,000 personal recognizance after being arraigned earlier today. He will return to court Feb. 10.

This guy has been scum since confettis! They need to shut down all of it Pearl Mega liquors and mugshots! He has been PAYING people off way too long to get away with serving underage, losing evidence and everything else he's done through the years! He gives good club owners a bad name and he's been pushing his money around for way too long. I always said he would get his one day, now it's up to us to make sure he does. And btw I can count at least six families lives that he DESTROYED since 2009. All of those beautiful angels rest in peace.

He's always been a piece of shit..I remember one night while workin for him someone came into the club and passed a fake $100 bill at the end of the night. He locked the doors and had all the bouncers tee off on this dude..I mean, to the point where he had to be carried out & dropped off behind the building where Home Depot now stands..Dont get me wrong, I'd be pissed if someone was droppin fake money at my place, BUT I'd let the police deal with it..If that poor guy didnt die that night, he's gotta be a lil sharquad today...I hope he gets what he's been deserving for years...

what real man with the right mind set goes out with a 21 years old? he is 48!!!! OLD enough to be her father! He should be ashamed of himself. That is DISGUSTING!
As for her jumping out of the car. Maybe he was driving like a crazy man (he was drunk) and scared her or they were fighting about something.
I feel very bad for this girls family. I just wished maybe someone could have warned her about him before. 48 dating a 21 years old is a red flag to me. nothing good can come out of that.

@Kristine...my initial gut reaction is the same as yours. No woman jumps out like that and if he was drunk DUI style...one would have thought grabbing the wheel and helping steer would have been an idea...but I agree, something stinks.
@Concerned...how can there be that many angels gone? I know I've only been in this state 10 years now....but that's really and exaggeration?

Because of his reputation, the fact that he's an angry guy with a history of drug abuse and a feeling he's above the law (ie: serving minors at Mugshots and the two kids that died because of it, allegations of abuse at his clubs, etc) and because if she was sick it would have made more sense to open the window rather than a heavy door while flying down the highway. THAT's WHY Freddy, it's called common sense.

And also when someone dies in front of you , regardless of the circumstances except the little matter of you being smashed drunk at the time, why, why would you be dining on Federal Hill (and sipping wine! Less than 24 hrs after you were in jail for DUI) and then continuing to party at Pearl? Seriously? The VERY NEXT night? He has NO soul.

Erica worked at Pearl was Joe's gf and yet there is no mention of her death on their site. Only pictures of her working and smoozing with the crowd. If they cared so much why not at least mention her death and express sympathies....thats right you dont do those things when you have something to hide.
Sandy Main

Justice Seeker, If he were to mention her death on Pearls page it would take away from all the "fun" pictures they posted the very night after her death. He seems to have a history of trying to hide from blame and this is just one more example. If his friends on here really think he had nothing to hide maybe they should tell him to come forward. What happened Joe? Do you think you can make believe it didn't happen and it'll just go away? Like Erica? Grow up! You can hide in the bottle but you can't hide from the truth it has a way of catching up with you.

I dont think it's necessary for him to post something about her death on his club's website. Business is business and it needs to continue.
As far as him-the way he's been acting is as if he doesnt care. Going out the day after your girlfriend died doesnt show much emotion from his part.
I believe this man will not be charged for anything other than a DUI. Sad but true. Only him and Erica (RIP) knows what truly happened that night and he's the only left to say it. He can create any story he wants and no one can go against it. Remember-He is innocent in till proven guilty. I'm sure his excuse is that they were fighting, maybe he was breaking up with her and she freaked out and jumped out the car. That sound like the best story he can give to save him self.
Sandy Main
4:33 pm on Tuesday, February 7, 2012
No matter what the circumstances of her death, it's VERY telling that he chose to party hours after. I guess even a DUI is just a little matter too. And there is someone else who knows what happened and it's god.

The State police & ALL the local police departments need to address the "prostitution" issues the state of RI has. There are so many strip clubs breaking the laws everyday, as well as the "in call" "out call" prositutes,look on Backpage, it's worse than CL.
Why doesn't the law set up stings at all these illegal places including backpage? It may generate some cash for the state and save us poor taxpayers from paying n paying n paying. Afterall these so called dancers certainly don't pay tax on their earnings!

You're pointing the finger at the wrong person regarding your statement "immature and stupid". The 48 year old man, that you're sticking up for, who was driving drunk is IMMATURE AND STUPID. And I actually own a business but I don't act like this and lie, over and over. Like the one today...."Not Guilty" and lastly, yes I do have a life and it's because I don't make poor choices like the person you're bent on defending. Good luck with that.

This guy who LOVED her so much p ulled over 300 yrds from the scene and NEVER got out to go back and see if she was okay. He also waited 15 minutes to call the police. FIFTEEN MINUTES. If he LOVED her soooo much wouldn't you think he'd want to check and make sure she was ok? Nope, stayed in his nice warm car while she lay in the middle of the highway. He's not a sociapath? I beg to differ.

Do i think the situation sucks ??absolutley, do i think he was wrong for dating a 21 year old? yes but i will defend him to the end.

Angelwings....it sounds as though you have been caught in the "Joe" trap like many other people. I worked for him for a while and have witnessed him smashed 90% of the time. Always had a Level & cranberry in his hand. All off his liquor based businesses sell to underage children and the only time he was caught was because 2 people died leaving Mugshots. He has the Providence PD in his pocket. Hopefully you will grow up at some point and realize that he really is a scumbag.
Sandy Main

He would NEVER hurt Erica? I beg to differ. He knowingly got behind the wheel DRUNK, with Erica as his passenger. He was therefore unable to help her when she needed him too because he was DRUNK. Yes, he did hurt Erica, and she died because of it.
Sandy Main
7:53 pm on Saturday, February 11, 2012
Angel wings, I will not debate this with a child. You're comments are repetitive and childish, If Joe Aloisio is concerned about what people think then HE can grow some balls and tell his side. If he chooses to remain silent and claim he had NO FAULT then EVERYONE will continue to try to piece it together themselves. He didn't even own up to being drunk behind the wheel...."Not Guilty" from his mouth. Just more crap coming out of his mouth. And again, I really don't care what you have to say you are far too immature for me to waste my time debating with. Tell your friend Joe that we'd all LOVE to hear from him though. But only THE TRUTH.
Thank you John Schmitt

ok! Joe has friends stating the only thing he is guilty of was drunk driving ! his friend John Schmitt has been harrasing her family writing several comments and threats that have been reported!! he says he is Joe' s good friend and all joe was was drunk! when someone confronting this friend if joes stating jor hasnt admitted to that he continued to threaten thr goncalves and moul family would pay if Pearl was ever closed!! none if her family ever said they were clising Pearl! but this guy must of posted about 20 statements to thr family ! he also wanted to know where miney was going and stated there should not be a fundraiser of trust fund this john stated joe was against that! the family has all his posts copied before he was able to delete as he did! he also stated there was nothing wring w joe doing cocaine! this john schmitt also stated that joe is in the middle of a case w another underage girl that left pearl and was killed driving hime after drinking!! he was attempting to what he stated stick up for Joe what a friend john schmitt is joe!! guess u dont need enemies!! all these comments were saved by family to turn iver to police! Joe can thank his BUDDY for the help!!! also this guy verified joe out the next night saying big deal!!

Pretty telling that Joe can't even admit in court that he was drunk that night. If he refuses to admit that it's highly doubtful he'll admit to anything else. What a shame. I really hope you guys bring him down. If there is another case of an underage driver killed leaving his club then this guy NEEDS to be stopped. And he was soooo remorseful that he was out partying less than 24 hours after the accident. He is a very soul-less person. Good luck to the family of Erica in your efforts. A great, great many of us are routing for you guys!

While standing over her making sure cars wouldn't hit her while driving by...and maybe he was the 3rd caller bc he thought they were taking too long..and u mean it was 300 ft...does anyone know what 300 ft is while driving on the highway of a speed of 65 t0 70 mph and how many ft u move in seconds...??ok that's in the police report too

If this is true, thank you for commenting. There are always two sides to everything and Joe has not come forward to tell his side leaving everyone to come to their own conclusions, me included. This is a very bizarre situation and only he can ease everyones mind. None of us wants to believe that it was sinister anymore than we want to believe that for whatever reason she jumped. But one of those is true. So it's been a very tough situation. I do appreciate you commenting as it shows that Joe really did show concern and tried to help.

Your welcome..and I was around both of them for the entire time while they were dating and knew both on an individual level...there are a lot of things that have been reported to the police so that they can do their investigation correctly. Many witnesses and people around them have come forward so that the police are able to go forward with the case. I believe Joe has stayed silent out of respect for the family. I know he has reached out and was told not to anymore. They have his phone number and he has theirs. He even tried to help with the fundraiser and donate 100 percent of all sales in the restaurant and donations but was told the family didn't want that so he backed down out od respect. Everything he has done is with his mind for the family. And that is why he is publicly staying silent and not commenting on internet posts but he has tried to speak to different family members and understands they are mourning as well and hasn't harrassed them for his own selfish peace of mind..

One of the biggest issues for me is the fact that it was drinking that led up to this tragedy and I just hope, from the bottom of my heart, that Joe realizes how this situation could have very likely ended differently if it weren't for that factor. And I really hope he does something to change because it's been a problem for him for awhile. I just hope he does something to fix it. If not for himself than for Erica.

He has always had more then one girlfriend and I can personally tell you he had a live in one another one and like 3 or four on the side young girls...It's sad that this young girl had to loose her life for anyone to come and say anything about him he has always thought he was above the law! Because he figures money will buy his way out of everything!! how do you think he got his license back for pearl former confettis!! Nice big donation to at the Mayors campaign (his Lawyers friend)!!! it's just sicking that this man can hurt destroy and kill so many young lives !!!
