Boston Police Take Weapons, 'Bear Attack Deterrent' From Suspect
BOSTON (CBS) -- Boston police arrested a driver with weapons in his car and "bear attack deterrent' within reach on Monday.
Officers stopped a pickup truck just after 1 a.m. for failing to stop at a red light twice on Columbia Road, police said. As they approached the truck, the 42-year-old driver ducked down out of sight for several seconds, according to police.
Inside the truck, police said they could see a large black and silver knife and "a large can of frontiersman bear attack deterrent (pepper spray)" within reach of the driver's hand.
The driver was ordered out of the truck to be frisked. He told officers there weren't any more weapons in the truck, but police said they found a loaded black Ruger LCR 357 Mangum on the floor by the driver's seat.
After making an arrest, police later found two axes, more large knives and a metal baseball bat.
James Kadlick, of Quincy, faces charges including unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and carrying a loaded firearm.
