HULL — Chief John Dunn reports that the Hull Police Department arrested a 15-year-old on gun charges Tuesday.
A 15-YEAR-OLD MALE JUVENILE was arrested Tuesday and charged with:
- Carrying a Loaded Firearm without a License
- Interfering with a Police Officer
- Possession of a Large-Capacity Feeding Device
- Possession of Ammunition without a Firearms Identification Card
- Using a Motor Vehicle Without Authority
On Tuesday, July 1, at approximately 11:01 a.m., Hull Police responded to a 911 call reporting that their neighbor’s moped had just been stolen from a home on Bay Street.
Officer John Mercer responded to the area and noticed a male matching the description of the suspect behind a laundry mat on Bay Street. The suspect was walking down the sidewalk, pushing a blue moped that also matched the description given by the caller.
The officer attempted to detain the suspect, who briefly struggled before being placed in handcuffs. The officer began to conduct a pat frisk for weapons, and the suspect again began to struggle and pull away before being successfully detained.
During a search of a fanny pack the suspect was wearing, officers located a 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun with a fully loaded 15-round magazine. Officers determined that the suspect was a 15-YEAR-OLD MALE JUVENILE.
Police are working to identify the owner of the handgun. The incident remains under investigation.
The juvenile will be arraigned in Hingham Juvenile Court.
These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
