HUDSON — Hudson police arrested four individuals, including three juveniles and one adult, after a firearm was displayed on a social media livestream.
Jessire DaSilva, 38, of Hudson, was charged with interfering with a police officer and investigation.
A 17-year-old juvenile, also from Hudson, faces charges of possession of a firearm without an FID card, possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number, possession of ammunition without an FID card, and improper storage of a firearm.
Two 14-year-old juveniles were arrested.
One is charged with assault and battery on a police officer, assault with a dangerous weapon, and interfering with a police officer and investigation.
The other is charged with assault and battery on a police officer and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Authorities were alerted on Feb. 27 to the livestream displaying the weapon.
An investigation, with assistance from Southbridge police, identified the 17-year-old male juvenile as the person in the livestream and also revealed he did not have an FID card.
On Feb. 28, at about 1:30 p.m., officers executed a search warrant at the juvenile’s home.
There, other juveniles allegedly became verbally aggressive, attempting to incite a dog to attack officers.
During the incident, one 14-year-old allegedly made physical contact with an officer.
DaSilva was asked to wait outside.
Meanwhile, she was observed taking a juvenile’s phone.
All four individuals were arrested without further incident.
During the search warrant execution, officers found a loaded 9mm Taurus GX4 handgun and ammunition in the 17-year-old’s room.
DaSilva and the juveniles were arraigned yesterday in Marlborough District Court.
Juvenile proceedings are typically closed to the public, except in cases involving youthful offenders.
Chief Richard DiPersio commended the efforts of Hudson and Southbridge police in the investigation.
