Mar 8, 2021

Wareham Police seized a number of illegal firearms and arrested a 34-year-old man for possession of a firearm without an FID card and illegal possession of ammunition — among other charges — on Friday, March 5.

At about 9:30 p.m., police executed a search warrant at 5 Quaker Rd. following an investigation into illegal firearms allegedly being stored there.

During the search, detectives seized seven firearms, ammunition, and a large capacity-feeding device for ammunition.

David Daggett was arrested and charged with two counts of carrying a firearm without a license, four counts of possession of a firearm without an FID card, possession of a large-capacity firearm, possession of a large capacity feeding device and illegal possession of ammunition.

“In one day our detectives seized Fentanyl from an earlier raid, then went right back to work executing a search warrant for weapons,” said Police Chief John Walcek. “The goal is to make Wareham as safe as possible for everyone.”
