On Thursday, Feb. 27, Hudson Police were made aware of an individual brandishing a firearm on a social media livestream.
Through an initial investigation conducted by Hudson Police with assistance from the Southbridge Police Department, police were able to identify the individual, a 17-YEAR-OLD MALE JUVENILE, and determined that he did not have an FID card.
On Friday, Feb. 28, at about 1:30 p.m., officers arrived at the home of one of the JUVENILES to execute a search warrant.
While officers were executing the search warrant, two other JUVENILES who were inside, became verbally aggressive with police and attempted to have a dog that was also at the residence attack officers.
While officers were attempting to de-escalate the situation, one of the 14-YEAR-OLD JUVENILES made physical contact with an officer.
DASILVA, was asked by police to wait outside of the home, where the one of the juveniles was being detained.
While outside, officers observed DASILVA take one of the JUVENILE’s phone off of his person.
DASILVA and all three of the JUVENILES were arrested without further incident.
