Illegal Possession of a Rifle, Handgun and Ammunition Dismissed
A hotel employee discover a rifle and ammunition in a room after the guest checked out. The defendant was the last person registered to the room. Among the charges levied against the defendant was illegal possession of a rifle and illegal possession of a firearm. One of the charges, G.L. c. 269 Section 10(a) carries a mandatory eighteen month jail sentence. Our office went immediately to work and filed a motion to dismiss based on the grounds that due to the fact he had not been living in Massachusetts for sixty days, he was entitled to an exemption to the licensing requirement. After reviewing the documents, motion and memorandum produced by our office, the Prosecutor agree with our position and these two counts were dismissed.
