Norwood arrest, interesting details

[VTski4x4]

Scratching my head. The article says that first he had parts to build a machine gun, but then later says he was charged with possession of a machine gun. Sounds to me like it might be one of the evil bump stocks 45 had banned. The guy is boned either way, but it still has me curious.

Drugs, assault rifle, parts to build machine gun found in home near schools, police say

constructive possession perhaps?

"The amount of evidence seized required use of the police wagon to transport it back to the station, Norwood police said." All that stuff would have fit in a a radio flyer wagon. Idiots.

Nothing like a little exaggeration to help the cause. Minus the AR I can fit all of that into 2 range bags.

That is only one picture of what was removed from the property. Here's another photo

Ban drill presses!

He wont be able to wiggle out of the Fireworks charge.

 

[crispnipz]

.22 caliber ammo, .45 caliber ammo, .223 caliber ammo, 5.56mm ammo

Always funny when the media's lack of knowledge about guns is so casually shown.

possession with intent to distribute Class D (four counts)

So what's the standard for charging that now that weed is legal? Is it just because he had "equipment to package" or is it the amount, or both? I mean if you go to a weed dispensary every day for a week, the items you buy alone would probably get you charged with intent to distribute in any non-legal state.

Gee, if it were Suffolk county, Rollins would decline to prosecute such "low level" crimes...

Oh wait...gunz.

He was in to some third hole action.

Kinda looks like a third hole on that AR, yeah.

Also, wtf with the weed charges? Was he dealing and someone dimed him out?

It's on their FB page as well(along with the typical bootlickers in the comment "so brave, thank you so much!!!")

IMO they were likely going after him because of drug sales in a school zone and the firearms, ammo and fireworks were unexpected...

“... found in home near schools...” oh heavens! Clearly he was planning to get those kids hooked on the weed and start selling it to them. Then once he was sold out, he was going to gun them all down. I’m glad they made the important distinction that he lived “near” schools.

Near the 95/128 loop, who DOESN’T live near a school?

:Edit: He doesn’t just live near a school, his backyard abuts school property. Pretty normal looking house, doesn’t scream shady drug den.

In the end, yeah it looks like this guy was planning to sell, and with that third hole was likely making a machine gun. He may be a scumbag and this is a good arrest, or he just sold some of his home grown weed to friends and was exercising his 2A rights quietly, I don’t know yet. But he is screwed either way. I’m curious where the tip came from.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

If you google his name you can find his FB and looks like he owned a glass bong shop which recently closed. Probably had some customers from there.

A long time ago, someone I knew said that the way Fall River is set up, you are almost always in a school zone(which "helps" during drug arrests") not sure how true it is, but there's def a lot of them

Isnt the posession of fireworks a 100 dollar fine?

 

[nstassel]

JFC why don't people just shut the hell up when they have no idea what they're talking about?

Not that I agree there should be be an LTC requirement but there is and he didn’t have one.

 

[Knuckle Dragger]

Translations:
"material that suggests he was building his own fireworks" = Half used 1lb jar of Titegroup
"parts to build a machine gun" = "Hey Sarg, this looks like a gun part but I don't know what it is. Much be for a machine gun".

 

[headednorth]

Those AR mags look like 22lr to me, no?

 

[elleehswon]

looks like there's a pair of 10 rounders.

i fail to see how thiis AR can be both an "assault weapon" and a "machine gun" if one involves select fire and the other (by machining) is full auto only.

 

[headednorth]

On second thought they may have ranger plates on them and Im looking at them upside down. I was thinking this...

but it may be this...

it's probably also a drug paraphernalia and a burglary tool as well.

I zoomed in further and they look like .22 LR mags

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

If you look at the pic there's at least one more rifle on the ground, guessing that's the "assault" rifle.

[Coz]

From what I heard on the news, he turned a couple of pellet guns into .22s using conversion kits

 

[rocket500]

Funny thing is now with weed legal the Commonwealth is getting serious about finding and prosecuting low level weed dealers.

Because $$$$$$$$$$.

No idea,but if it was like that NES would have about 3 threads with 4 people responding at any given time.

Shocked they resisted the temptation of squeezing in 2 AR's front and center.
