Couple held without bail claim to be on government mission
TEWKSBURY, Mass. (AP) — Two people who face weapons charges say they were on a classified government mission and are being held without bail.
Fifty-nine-year-old Francho Bradley of Frisco, Texas told investigators this when he and Adrianne Jennings, 40, were arrested at a Tewksbury, Massachusetts hotel last week.
Bradley alleged he was on a mission for the Department of Defense and carried a fraudulent government badge.
The two are being held without bail after a dangerousness hearing in Lowell District Court.
They're charged in connection with a large seizure of weapons at the Residence Inn, including an AR-15, AK-47 and ammunition.
Police say the couple had driven to Massachusetts from Texas with the weapons.
