Norwood Man Arrested On 29 Gun And Drug Charges

NORWOOD (CBS) – Police arrested a Norwood man on 29 charges after they seized drugs, guns, ammo, and fireworks from his home. The amount of evidence was so vast that officers had to use a police wagon to transport it back to the station.

Officers removed marijuana, THC edibles, THC oil, four handguns, an assault rifle, parts to build a machine gun, several calibers of ammo, a large supply of fireworks, and material to build homemade fireworks.

"I'm glad police knew about it because it's a very quiet neighborhood," one neighbor said.
