Two arrested, gun and drugs seized in Foxboro traffic stop

[commodon]

One less M&P Shield on the street!



Police seized a loaded gun, several small plastic bags containing alleged heroin and arrested two Virginia residents Sunday following a routine traffic stop.

Police identified the two suspects as Andrew Lucas, 22, of Arlington, Va., and Javonnie Joyner, 19, of Henrico, Va.

Lucas was driving a car with an expired license plate on Pine Street when he was stopped by K9 Officer Kurt Pollister.

Police said a routine check revealed Lucas did not have an active driver’s license and was wanted on warrants in Virginia.

During an inventory search of the vehicle, police say they found a loaded .40-caliber handgun along with several wrapped plastic bags of alleged heroin in the center console.

The pair was staying in the area at the America’s Best Value Inn on Route 1 in Foxboro, Police Chief Michael Grace said.
Pollister was assisted by Officer Vincent Golemme and Norfolk police.

Lucas faces charges of unlawfully carrying a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, possession with intent to distribute heroin, driving without a license and driving an unregistered motor vehicle.

Joyner was charged with unlawfully carrying a firearm and unlawful possession of ammunition. Innocent pleas were entered on their behalf at arraignment Monday in Wrentham District Court. Lucas was ordered held on $5,000 cash bail and Joyner on $1,000 cash bail, according to the clerk’s office. Their cases were continued to Sept. 2.

And it's a .40!?

Shit I paid $10 for that ammo a few years ago on sale!?

 

[rcwhat]

Nothing good ever comes from a .40s&w

 

[71montess]

They make bail and bail. In all likleyhood, they are the right race to get released, no bail.

 

[boscru]

nice holster. did they pick that up @ bass pro for $9.95 ?

 

[SKumar]

Judging by their gun and ammo selection, these guys were definitely "gun people"

 

[EMTDAD]

1) bail is a joke... $5K and $1K for armed drug dealers.. WTF.
2) actually surprised they even had a holster..

 

[kalash]

Look at that bent barrel, clearly the gun is broken!

MA bails are generally about 10% +/- of the bails you see in a "bond company" state. The amount of cash put up by the suspect is the same, but in many other states it would be 10% of $50,000 as a bonding fee that, unlike mail, is not refunded.

Seems like $5K is easy money for an armed drug dealer to come up with.

Nothing good ever comes from a .40 S&W.

 

[Broc]

Forget the drugs, they had a .40, that's enough to give them at least 15 years.

And not just any .40, a Shield. Add another 5 years for that.

 

[looser38]

I'm ok with the FORTAY, ok with the Shield, but I need to know if it's a "Free state trigger".

Dude, I can't tell you how many trafficking busts happen because of stupid equipment violations triggered a stop. Yeah, there is no entry exam in the drug profession.

 

[friscoeast]

You can't make a story like this up!

 

[lowbuckbob]

Well, you could, but low and behold, it's true!
Unless it's fake news.

Seriously, isn't Rule 1: "Don't break the law when you're breaking the law"? If nothing's illegal until you get caught, at least start by making sure your tags are in order.

At the same time, it's literally all malum prohibitum, and wouldn't matter if we were actually a free society. Like sure, license and tags to confirm you understand the rules that we all play by on the roads - but there are tons of awful drivers, clearly the training isn't helping that much. /rant

This like people who shoplift while carrying unregistered drugs.

Love how you put the holster in the same category as heroin & expired tags

What's wrong with Hornady Critical Defense?

Or is it the fact that I only see 1 of them and a box full of FMJ? Except the mags appear to be loaded with HCD.
