PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- A 29-year-old Massachusetts man was charged with unlawful possession of a 9 mm Luger handgun Friday after troopers stopped him during a patrol on Manton Avenue, according to state police.
Christopher Baker, of 24 Hansboro Street, Apt. #2, Dorchester, wasn't wearing a seatbelt when troopers spotted him in the front passenger seat of a vehicle driven by another man, also not wearing a seatbelt, police said.
Baker was unable to post a bail of $50,000 and he is being held until his arraignment Monday morning in District Court, Providence, police said.
