Hull Man Arrested in Cohasset on Multiple Firearms Charges

According to a release by the Cohasset Police Department, a 20-year-old Hull resident was arrested early Friday morning after police discovered multiple unauthorized firearms in his vehicle following reports of a possible domestic incident.

Nathan G. Sweeney was taken into custody at approximately 3:30 AM after Cohasset Police responded to a 911 call regarding a potential domestic incident. The caller reported being followed for roughly 30 minutes by a Dodge Ram pickup truck, whose driver was believed to be armed and identified as the boyfriend of the caller's female passenger.

Officers Kevin Lynch, Brendan Skerry, and Sergeant Harrison Schmidt responded to the scene, intercepting the vehicles on Main Street. During a traffic stop near Cohasset Common, Officer Lynch's investigation led to the discovery of multiple weapons in Sweeney's vehicle, including a loaded 9mm handgun, a 12-gauge shotgun, and an additional firearm, along with ammunition.

Investigators determined Sweeney did not possess the required firearms license. He faces multiple charges, including unlawful carrying of a loaded handgun, improper storage of a firearm, and improper storage of ammunition.

Following his arrest, Sweeney was held overnight at the Cohasset Police headquarters before being transported to Quincy District Court for arraignment on Friday morning.

The incident remains under investigation by the Cohasset Police Department.
