At about 5:53 PM, on Monday, July 10, 2023, officers assigned to District B-3 (Mattapan) arrested Kharone Green, 25, of Mattapan, on firearm and drug related charges.
Officers were on patrol in the area of 310 Harvard Street when they observed a motor vehicle operating at a high rate of speed. Officers conducted a CJIS inquiry of the motor vehicle which revealed that the vehicle’s registration was revoked.
At this time, officers activated their emergency lights and sirens to initiate a traffic stop. Officers made contact with both occupants and advised them that the vehicle could not be operated on a public way and would need to be towed. Officers advised the occupants to exit the vehicle, and officers conducted an inventory search.
Officers located a firearm from inside the vehicle, and immediately placed both suspects into handcuffs. The firearm was later determined to be a Jennings J-22 with one round in the chamber, and two rounds in the magazine. Officers also located multiple plastic bags of green leafy substance, believed to be marijuana.
