Massachusetts drivers face Rhode Island prosecution for the criminal case plus Massachusetts RMV license consequences through the Driver License Compact. The criminal case stays in Rhode Island (6th Division). Your Massachusetts license is suspended by the RMV based on the Rhode Island outcome. Cross-border legal coordination is recommended.
