Fall River Police have arrested a man on gun charges after seizing a firearm and ammunition.
According to police, on Monday, detectives from our Community Action and Suppression Team stopped a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe as part of an ongoing firearm investigation.
31-year-old Jeffrey Clark was reportedly found with a Remington 700 .308-caliber rifle, 35 live rounds of .308-caliber ammunition, and 60 live rounds of .223-caliber ammunition, including enhanced penetration and tracer rounds.
Clark does not hold a Massachusetts License to Carry or a Firearms Identification Card. He was arrested and brought to the Fall River Police Department for booking on charges of Improper Storage of a Firearm, Carrying a Firearm without a License, and Possessing Ammunition without an FID card.
Clark was arraigned Tuesday in Fall River District Court where he pled not guilty and was being held without bail pending a Thursday detention hearing.
