A witness told officers that he observed a male with a firearm tucked in his waistband. He called police since the firearm was not in a holster.

A male matching the description of the suspect was later found by other officers on Boys and Girls Club Way. A firearm was wound inside of his pants. He was found to have a suspended license to carry.

Twenty-seven-year-old Alex Marrero of Fitchburg is charged with Possession of a Large Capacity Firearm, Carrying a Loaded Firearm Without a License, Possession of a Firearm Without an FID Card, Possession of Ammunition Without an FID Card and Disorderly Conduct.
