MARSHFIELD, MASS. (WHDH) - Marshfield police arrested a Boston man who they say attempted to rob a store at gunpoint on Friday night.
Officers responding to a man attempting to steal from a store after 6 p.m. were told by the business owner that the suspect pointed a firearm with a laser pointer at him, police said.
Officers found a man, Laurent Joseph, 32, of Dorchester, matching the description of the suspect walking along Fieldston Beach less than a quarter-mile from the store, according to police.
He was arrested and police say they seized a loaded handgun, more than two pounds of marijuana in four separate bags, a digital scale, more than $18,000 in cash and what appeared to be numerous edible THC products.
Joseph is being held pending $10,040 bail and will be arraigned on several charges, including assault by means of a deadly weapon, carrying a firearm without a license and possession with intent to distribute, police said.
