On Monday, June 30, 2025, members of the Youth Violence Strike Force arrested Tyrone Worrell, 18, of Boston, on multiple firearm and drug offenses.
About 7:14 PM, officers were on patrol in the area of West Cottage Street towards Judson Street. The officers observed a vehicle make an abrupt right turn onto Judson Street without slowing down. The vehicle was also seen to have excessive window tint.
Officers were able to position their cruiser behind the vehicle and observed the vehicle stop in the area of 37 Julian Street. Officers then activated their emergency lights and sirens to initiate a traffic stop. Contact was made with the operator of the vehicle, and officers observed him open the driver’s side door as the window did not operate.
The operator was advised to roll down the remaining windows as the tint could not allow officers to see inside. The front seat passenger was observed to not be wearing his seatbelt and his identification was requested.
As officers were speaking with the occupants of the vehicle, they observed a tray on top of the center console with marijuana remnants on it. Officers could also see a cross-body-style bag inside the vehicle, which appeared to be full of unknown contents.
After further investigation, officers requested the occupants to exit the vehicle. Officers conducted a pat frisk, and located a firearm from inside the bag. Both suspects were placed into handcuffs, and officers recovered THC paraphernalia as well.
Detectives were requested to respond to the scene and process the firearm, which was determined to be a Ghost Gun with one round in the chamber and ten rounds in the magazine. A further search of the vehicle revealed 113 THC Vaporizer cartridges, seven plastic bags of THC edible gummies, one plastic bag of marijuana, and a digital scale.
Worrell was placed under arrest and is expected to be arraigned in Roxbury District Court for the following offenses:
– Unlawful Possession of a Firearm
– Carrying a Loaded Firearm
– Unlawful Possession of Ammunition
– Possession with Intent to Distribute Marijuana
