TEWKSBURY, Mass. (AP) — A man who faces weapons charges says he was on a classified government mission.
The Lowell Sun reports 59-year-old Francho Bradley of Frisco, Texas told investigators this when he and Adrianne Jennings, 40, were arrested at a Tewksbury, Massachusetts hotel Sunday.
The two are being held without bail after being arraigned Monday in Lowell District Court in connection with a large seizure of weapons at the Residence Inn Sunday.
Bradley called the police while away from the room to say he believed there was a break in and that he had a firearm in his hotel room unsecured. Tewksbury police noticed rifles and later found an AR-15, AK-47, and other devices. The couple had driven from Texas to Massachusetts with the weapons.
