The office of Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin announced the indictment last week. Diaz is due to be arraigned in Superior Court on July 6.

According to a statement from prosecutors, it is alleged that Diaz in November 2015 “broke into the residence of a woman with whom he was in a relationship … and assaulted and robbed her.” The incident took place in Cranston, and was investigated by Cranston police.

A subsequent search of the residence uncovered more than 67 grams of crack cocaine, more than $20,000 in cash, and a loaded semi-automatic firearm, according to Neronha’s office.
