The arrest happened on Thursday, Aug. 27, at around 3 a.m., after Westborough Police allegedly witnessed a vehicle speeding on Route 9 in the Green Thumb area.

After pulling the vehicle over, police found that the alleged operator, Christopher Fuller of Worcester, was driving with a suspended license. As police prepared to have the vehicle towed, Fuller allegedly became “irate,” police said.

Fuller allegedly sought access to his backpack, which was still in the vehicle, several times, despite officers’ orders to stay put, police said.

When they checked the backpack, police allegedly found a loaded firearm.

Fuller was arrested on the charges of illegal possession of a firearm, possession with intent to distribute a Class B substance, among others, police said.
