Last night, a disturbance call in downtown Framingham escalated into a police operation that led to the arrest of Daniel Feeney, 32, after officers responded to a report of a fight between a man and woman at the intersection of Concord St and Union Ave.
The situation unfolded around 10 p.m. when officers arrived on the scene, interviewed the parties involved, and developed probable cause, it wasn't long before they arrested Feeney in the parking lot of the police station; a search of his person turned up an unloaded nine-round .22 caliber revolver and a small amount of a Class E controlled substance.
Feeney, found to be without a known address, faces multiple charges including domestic assault and battery, possession of a firearm without a Firearms Identification (FID) Card or License to Carry (LTC), and possession of a controlled substance; this marks the Framingham Police Department's third recovery of an illegally possessed gun in just over a week, with the department praising the evening shift for their diligence.
"Great job to the evening shift for taking another illegally possessed firearm off our streets!" the Framingham Police exclaimed in their announcement, drawing attention to the effectiveness of their officers in proactive community safety measures through such operations, even as the broader conversation on gun control and drug abuse rages on in the public sphere.
