In a late-night traffic stop gone awry, Boston Police arrested Kamarra Freeman on a bevy of gun and motor-related charges. The incident swiftly unfolded after Freeman was observed committing a traffic violation in Dorchester, according to a statement from the Boston Police Department.
Officers from the B-3 Anti-Crime Unit, patrolling around Blue Hill Avenue and Baird Street, watched as Freeman at about 10:46 PM, on Saturday, proceeded to quickly take a right turn at a red light from the wrong lane, soon stopping his vehicle mid-street. This initiated a response by officers who then had to activate their emergency lights and sirens to try and properly carry out a motor vehicle stop. The driver then got out and began to heatedly argue with the officers, refusing to provide his driver's license despite multiple requests, and leading to his arrest for defiance.
During the arrest, a firearm in a holster was spotted on the passenger seat of Freeman's car by an officer, an observation that hastened the removal of other occupants and the towing of the vehicle. The other individuals who were present in the vehicle did not comply with information requests and were eventually released at the scene while Freeman faced further investigation.
It was later found that Freeman was driving on a suspended license and was in possession of an FN firearm with ten rounds, ready to potentially unleash. He was hit with charges including "unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, motor vehicle operator refusal to identify himself, and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle," as disclosed in the police department's account. Freeman is set to face these charges at his upcoming arraignment in Dorchester District Court.
