Well Done Mass DEP

On Saturday, April 6, 2019, at approximately 11:30 p.m., a Massachusetts Environmental Police Lieutenant encountered a vehicle with four occupants in an area of Wareham that is known for the illegal harvesting of Glass Eels *. Upon further investigation the four occupants, all residents of Maine, were found to be in possession of undersized Glass Eels and small mesh nets used for the harvesting.

With assistance from the Wareham Police Department, the MEP Lieutenant took all four occupants into custody for the Marine Fisheries violations. One of the arrested parties was found to be in possession of Class B drugs (crack cocaine) and drug paraphernalia (crack pipe). Ammunition for a .45 caliber hand gun and a magazine for a .45 caliber hand gun were located in the vehicle. It was further confirmed that none of the four occupants of the vehicle possessed a valid license to carry (LTC) or firearms identification card (FID) in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The arrested parties were subsequently transported by the Environmental Police and the Massachusetts State Police to the State Police Barracks in Bourne

Now as we progress to phase 2, sentencing...

The offenses are itemized individually,
I would be curious to see how the judge views
the poaching of glass eels vs. the narcotics and firearms
possession... ( especially if future preventing future offenses
is a goal)

Is it illegal to just have ammo in the state?

Is it illegal to just have ammo in the state?

Yes it is:

Duh! They dumped the firearm into the water 😜

There is zero reason to carry projectiles, just for the sake of carrying projectiles.

Glad they got thto guys sentencing will be interesting as always. Slap on the wrist for ammo, magazine, possession of everything including the elvers. I really wish that there was an easy place to reference arrears and sentences for F&W crimes.
