TEWKSBURY, Mass. (WHDH) — A Texas couple has been arrested after a major weapons bust in Tewksbury.
Police arrested Francho Bradley and Adrianne Jennings over the weekend after investigators say they found a number of guns — including several rifles and a silencer — in the hotel room of the suspects on Saturday.
According to police, Bradley initially called police after he believed someone was trying to break into the room. He later reportedly told police he works for a secret government agency but did not give any other details.
Bradley’s attorney said all the weapons recovered by police are “pyrotechnic props” related to Bradley’s job, saying he sells “components of this” to the military.
The suspects face several charges including illegal possession of a firearm. They are due in court later this week on a dangerousness hearing.
