All of the occupants were removed from the vehicle. Officers recovered a firearm underneath the front passenger’s seat. The firearm was determined to be a 9 mm ghost gun with a Patmos upper receiver loaded with seven rounds of live ammunition. One of the rear passengers was taken into custody.
Officers arrested Donald Villard, 21-years-old, of Dorchester. Villard is expected to be arraigned in Dorchester Court on charges of Carrying a Loaded Firearm without a License, Carrying a Firearm without a License, and Possession of Ammunition without an FID Card.
