WORCESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - Two men were arrested on weapons charges following a motor vehicle stop in Worcester early Monday morning.
Officers responding to a motor vehicle accident on Florence Street around 5 a.m. began checking the area for the driver who allegedly fled the scene on foot, according to a release issued by the department.
Over the course of the search, officers pulled up behind a black Toyota Carolla and the driver began to speed away.
The passengers in the car, 27-year-old Travis Tolson and 47-year-old Deon Barber, were eventually stopped near the intersection of Gates and Hollis streets.
Officers then observed the two men bending over in an alleged attempt to hide something.
A search of the vehicle uncovered a loaded revolver which had been stashed underneath the driver’s seat.
Both are now facing several weapons-related charges including, carrying a firearm without an FID card and carrying a loaded firearm.
They are due to be arraigned in Worcester District Court.
