repeat

A repeat illegal firearm user who was carrying an illegal gun during a fight outside a bar in New Bedford will serve five to seven years in state prison.

A man with a lengthy criminal record who served 15-20 years in state prison for murder was arrested Sunday for armed robbery, after being released on bail last month on robbery and drug charges.

A 42-year-old repeat drunk driver from Freetown was convicted of multiple charges related to driving his ATV while heavily intoxicated and sentenced to serve two years in jail.

Fairhaven Police arrested a 31-year-old man with a history of vehicle break-ins for the same crime early Wednesday morning, and are encouraging residents to come forward if they were a victim of a car break Tuesday night.
