Newburyport Police Seize Two Guns in Drug Arrest

NEWBURYPORT — Marshal Mark Murray reports that the Newburyport Police seized two guns, more than 200 rounds of ammunition, heroin and over four pounds of marijuana when they arrested two men on Saturday.

TRAEVON MCGAIRTY, AGE 22, OF MOFFAT, COLORADO and KAHILAND PHILLIPS, AGE 22, OF BROOMFIELD, COLORADO were both charged with:

  • Possession of a Large Capacity Firearm
  • Possession of a Large Capacity Firearm While Committing a Felony
  • Carrying a Firearm Without a License
  • Sell/Possess an Electric Stun Gun
  • Possession of Ammunition Without a FID Card
  • Possession of a Large Capacity Feeding Device (Two Counts)
  • Improper Storage of a Large Capacity Firearm
  • Improper Storage of a Firearm
  • Possession to Distribute a Class A Drug (Heroin)
  • Possession to Distribute a Class D Drug (Marijuana)

At approximately 4:46 a.m. Saturday, Newburyport Police were dispatched to the Mobil gas station, 76 Storey Ave, to perform a welfare check.

A store clerk reported that a man had been asleep in a car in the parking lot for a few hours and was concerned that the man may have been passed out.

Upon arrival officers found two men, later identified as MCGAIRTY and PHILLIPS, who were asleep in the car.

Because of the dark tint on the car’s windows and because they could not see inside of the vehicle, officers asked the men to get out of the car.

When PHILLIPS got out of the driver’s seat an officer saw a handgun in plain view near the seat.

The gun was seized and both men were taken into custody and place under arrest. The subsequent investigation determined that neither of the men had a license to carry a firearm.

In searching the vehicle, officers found a duffel bag with another handgun inside and 210 rounds of ammunition. They also seized nine grams of suspected heroin, more than four pounds of marijuana in vacuum sealed bags, a stun gun and $927 in cash from the car.

Both men are being held on bail and are expected to be arraigned Monday in Newburyport District Court.

“This is an example of what officers can come across during something as routine as a welfare check,” Marshal Murray said. “I think the officers did a great job and their efforts led to getting two guns and a significant amount of drugs off of our streets.”

These are allegations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty.

Easton Police Arrest Man on Gun Charges Following Traffic Stop

EASTON — Chief Gary Sullivan reports that the Easton Police Department arrested a Brockton man on gun charges after an officer encountered his disabled vehicle Monday afternoon.

ADERITO AMADO, AGE 27, OF BROCKTON was charged with:

  • Carrying a Firearm Without a License
  • Improper Storage of a Firearm
  • Unlawful Possession of Ammunition
  • Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle
  • Providing a False Name to a Police Officer

At approximately 4:50 p.m., an Easton Police officer came across a disabled Infinity sedan in the area of 31 Belmont St. (Route 123).

The driver, later identified as AMADO, initially provided a false name to the officer.

Through the course of their investigation, Easton Police were able to determine AMADO’S identity and discovered that he did not have a valid driver’s license.

His vehicle was towed because it was causing a hazard in the roadway. The car was searched before it was towed and officers located a loaded .45 caliber handgun under the driver’s seat.

AMADO was subsequently placed under arrest.

 

AMADO was later released on $25,000 bail and was scheduled to be arraigned in Taunton District Court Tuesday morning.

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Raynham Police Arrest Man with Multiple Guns in Stolen Vehicle

RAYNHAM — Chief James Donovan reports that the Raynham Police Department arrested a man Wednesday morning, who had multiple firearms in his possession inside a stolen vehicle.

KYLE DAMON, AGE 22, OF RAYNHAM was charged with:

  • Possession of a large capacity firearm
  • Carrying a firearm without a license (two counts)
  • Carrying a firearm while intoxicated
  • Receiving stolen property over $250 (three counts)
  • Carrying ammunition without a license
  • Warrant arrest (three counts)

On Wednesday, at approximately 4:46 a.m., Raynham Police received a report of a man who was possibly in a stolen vehicle in the parking lot of the King Philip apartment complex.

Upon arrival, officers found a man, later identified as DAMON, sitting inside a Chevy Trailblazer that had been reported stolen on Monday, Dec. 11 out of Taunton.

Officers had reason to believe that DAMON may have had multiple stolen firearms in his possession and moved quickly to remove him from the vehicle and place him in handcuffs.

DAMON was highly intoxicated and received minor cuts and scrapes to his face when he was detained on the ground.

In searching DAMON, officers found a loaded Remington 1911 handgun inside a holster on his right hip. They also found a small folding knife tucked into his boot.

Inside the Trailblazer, officers located a fully locked and loaded AR-15 rifle in the front passenger’s seat, along with a large knife. Both items were within reaching distance of DAMON.

DAMON was placed under arrest. After complaining about chest pains, he was brought to Morton Hospital for evaluation. He will be arraigned after he is released from the hospital.

The guns were seized and the vehicle was recovered and towed to the police station for further investigation.

“This was a great job by our officers of quickly assessing the situation, especially not knowing how Mr. Damon would react when they came upon him,” Chief Donovan said. “Thankfully we were able to apprehend the suspect without incident and take two illegally possessed firearms off the streets.”

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.
