At about 12:46 PM, on Tuesday, July 9th, 2024, Officers assigned to District C-11 (Dorchester) responded to a 911 call from a person with an unwanted guest in her home that was in possession of a firearm.
Officers arrived at the 911 callers home located on Tremlett St. in Dorchester, and located an open door in the rear of the building. Officers conducted a protective sweep of her apartment and located the suspect, William Wood, 50, of Roxbury, sleeping on a couch with a firearm underneath his head. Officers safely secured the firearm and placed Wood into custody.
