SOUTHBOROUGH, MA — Southborough Police arrested two Worcester residents on gun and drug charges early Thursday morning following a traffic stop on Turnpike Road.
Jonavin Camacho, 24, of Worcester, was charged with carrying a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition without an FID card and Class E drug possession.
Charlene Marie Milburn, 26, of Worcester, was charged with carrying a firearm without a license, possession of ammunition without an FID card, Class E drug possession, unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, equipment violation and no inspection sticker.
At about 2 a.m. Thursday, Patrolman Panajoti Samarxhi was patrolling Turnpike Road when he determined that a black 2006 Honda Pilot did not have a valid inspection sticker.
Patrolman Samarxhi initiated a traffic stop and spoke to the driver, later identified as Milburn, and determined that her driver’s license had been suspended in Rhode Island.
A male passenger in the vehicle, identified as Camacho, told police that he also did not have a valid driver’s license.
The driver and passenger were informed that the vehicle would be towed.
Sgt. Thomas Rock and Detective Anthony Vega arrived to assist.
Police found a black handgun in the vehicle’s unlocked center console while conducting an inventory of the vehicle’s contents.
The handgun was loaded with seven bullets, four of which were hollow-points and the other three were full metal jacket rounds.
Camacho and Milburn were arrested and handcuffed.
A background query revealed that neither occupant had a license to carry a firearm.
Police also found a second magazine loaded with six bullets and a small plastic bag containing 115 red and black unmarked pills.
Detective Vega determined the handgun, a .45-caliber Colt 1911, had never been registered with the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services Firearms Records Bureau.
Both Camacho and Milburn were transported to Westborough District Court, where bail was set at $5,000 each.
