Early Tuesday morning, a regular patrol by the Anti-Crime Unit of Mattapan's District B-3 resulted in the arrest of 31-year-old Randolph resident Tahre Mims on firearm charges, as Boston Police reported. Officers pulled over a vehicle at the intersection of Harvard Street and Morton Street around 1:00 AM due to missing and obstructed license plates.
The officers' encounter with the occupants led to the discovery of a firearm, a Glock 42 with six rounds in the magazine located in the groin area of the right rear passenger Mims admitted to being armed after a tension-filled interaction where he was observed reaching towards the floor before complying with the officer's request to roll down his window, his movements before the admission prompting officers to call for the occupants to exit the vehicle. The driver was released from the scene while Mims faced the consequences of unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition; the courts will soon hear his case in Dorchester District Court.
Following the arrest and weapon recovery, the Boston Police took to their official channel to relay the details of the incident. Mims now awaits his court hearing.
