Fall River woman with long criminal history sentenced after attempting to break into ex-boyfriends home with loaded high-capacity firearm
A 41-year-old Fall River woman with a long history of criminal convictions was sentenced to state prison last week after being convicted of attempting to break into a residence while in possession of a loaded high-capacity firearm, Bristol County District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn III announced.
Anahi Rodrigues pled guilty in Fall River Superior Court to indictments charging her with Unlawful Possession of a Large Capacity Forearm, Carrying an Illegal Firearm, and Two Counts of Possessing a Large Capacity Feeding Device. She also pled guilty in Fall River District Court to charges of Breaking and Entering, and Attempt to Commit a Crime.
On March 1, 2021, Fall River Police were called to a city residence regarding an attempted breaking and entering in progress. When officers arrived on scene, they located Rodrigues on the fire escape. She was carrying a backpack, which contained a loaded AR-15 Pistol and two additional magazines with 19 and 15 rounds capacities. The follow up investigation determined the target of the house break was Rodrigues’s ex-boyfriend.
The DA’s Office says that Rodrigues has a comprehensive record of assaultive convictions dating back to 2001.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Kaitlyn O’Leary and Nate Kennedy, and the six to seven-and-a-half year state prison sentence was imposed by Judge Raffi Yessayan.
“This defendant has a significant criminal history, including prior jail sentences. She was caught breaking into a home with a loaded high-capacity weapon. Clearly, she is a danger to the community. The sentence imposed is appropriate to protect the public,” District Attorney Quinn said.

What good is a common sense gun law do when individuals like this that DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE LAW!! Didn’t you read the article? “Unlawful Possession of a Large Capacity Firearm” The state can make more restrictive gun laws that only prevents law abiding citizens access to firearms.
