DARTMOUTH, MA – On Thursday, Officer Darren Emond served an arrest warrant for assault with a dangerous weapon on a 20-year-old from New Bedford.

In addition to the warrant, Gedeon was also charged with carrying a loaded firearm without a license, carrying a firearm without a license, and possession of ammunition without a firearms identification card.
According to Chief Brian P. Levesque, “In a society currently inundated with gun violence, I am thrilled that my officer was able to take this individual, as well as the loaded firearm that he was illegally carrying, off of the streets before they could harm anyone.”

Unfortunately he’ll be quickly released back onto the streets only to rearm himself and get back into whatever other illegal activity he’s involved him. We need harsher sentencing for individuals caught with illegal firearms
