Pittsfield Man Arrested While Driving Stolen Car With Gun, Drugs
A Pittsfield man was arrested on Sunday while driving a stolen car on the Mass Turnpike in possession of a gun, ammo, and drugs.
RMV Inquiry leads to an arrest...
Trooper Nathan Hastings, assigned to State Police-Westfield, was patrolling Route 90 in Russell on Mother's Day (Sunday, May 8th) at approximately 6:00 PM, when he conducted a random electronic Registry of Motor Vehicles inquiry on a black Jaguar SUV. The results of that inquiry revealed that the vehicle in question had been stolen just two days earlier.
According to a report on the Massachusetts State Police Media Relations website, and on Facebook, Trooper Hastings took up a position behind the Jaguar and requested additional assistance prior to attempting a motor vehicle stop. Once additional cruisers joined Trooper Hastings they initiated their blue lights and conducted a high-risk felony vehicle stop.
