Worcester man arrested on gun, drug charges in Shrewsbury

By Maureen Sullivan Senior Reporter SHREWSBURY - The discovery of a loaded handgun and drugs in a backpack led to the arrest of a Worcester man.

According to Shrewsbury police, on Nov. 6 around 9:48 p.m., an officer was conducting speed enforcement on Boston Turnpike near the Worcester City Motel.

The officer stopped a blue Honda Accord for driving 64 miles per hour in a 40 mph zone and observed multiple people inside the car. Police said the officer observed a back seat passenger repeatedly reach for a small backpack after continued requests to not touch it and to stop moving it around.

Multiple other officers arrived for assistance. The officer asked the passenger to step out of the vehicle, at which point he grabbed the backpack again and got out of the car.
