REVERE, MASS. (WHDH) - Two men were arrested on weapons and drug charges following a motor vehicle stop in Revere on Wednesday, police say.
Troopers who stopped a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado on Squire Road about 5 p.m. noticed a handgun near the feet of one of the passengers, later identified as Christopher Ciano, 21, of Revere, according to state police.
After placing Ciano in custody, troopers searched the vehicle and allegedly found $3,100 in cash, more than 9 ounces of marijuana, and a digital scale commonly used in the distribution of narcotics.
The juvenile operator, along with the rear-seat passenger, identified as Ayoub Haddad, 18 of Malden, were both taken into custody.
Ciano and Haddad were scheduled to be arraigned Thursday in Chelsea District Court on charges of possession of a Class D drug with intent to distribute, conspiracy to violate drug laws, possession of a firearm, and defacing a firearm serial number.
