Overview
- The couple, arraigned Wednesday in Fall River District Court, pleaded not guilty to improper storage near a minor, unlicensed firearm and ammunition possession, and reckless child endangerment.
- Detectives executing an April 7 warrant at the Market Street home reported seizing five unregistered, unsecured guns and ammunition, including a Ruger .22 pistol, a Beretta 9mm, a Ruger .45, a Savage Stevens 12-gauge, and a Marlin .22 rifle, with four loaded.
- No gun or ammunition was found at Mark G. Hoyle Elementary, with police records noting the child and parents denied the report.
- Investigators said a Beretta recovered from a nightstand matched what a student described seeing in a backpack, a detail at issue in the ongoing case.
- The judge released both on personal recognizance with orders to surrender all firearms and check in monthly, and set their next court date for June, while the school reviews its reporting delay and police filed a child-welfare report.
