Members of the department’s Gang Unit conducted the investigation at the Motel 6 on Westgate Drive that led to the seizure of seized six unlawfully-carried firearms. A knife, brass knuckles, ammunition and 4 grams of crystal methamphetamine were also seized.
The following suspects were transported to State Police Middleborough barracks for booking:
- Matthew Miles, 41, McMinniville, Tennessee
- Pedro Tapia, 51, Murfreesboro, Tennessee
