In a car jammed with eight people in Dorchester, two had loaded guns, police say

Boston Police report arresting two of the eight people they had exit a vehicle on Whitfield Street in Dorchester yesterday afternoon.

Police say gang-unit officers stopped the vehicle for unspecified traffic infractions around 4:35 p.m.

As Officers began to remove the vehicle's occupants one by one, an Officer observed [Treiquawn] Couch clutching a backpack in his lap. As officers requested Couch exit the car, he left the backpack in the vehicle. Officers removed the bag and conducted a pat-frisk. As officers conducted the pat-frisk, a firearm fell out of an already open compartment in the bag. Officers placed Couch into custody without incident.

As Officers asked the remaining occupant to exit the vehicle, the juvenile male, Officers immediately observed the handle of a firearm in the male's waistband. Officers were able to safely remove the firearm and place the male into custody without incident.

Seized: A Ruger 9-mm gun with five rounds and a Ruger .22 caliber gun with nine rounds.

Couch, 18, was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and unlawful possession of a loaded firearm, police say. The other teen, just 14, is too young to have his name released but was charged as delinquent for the same reasons as Couch, police say.

Innocent, etc.
