Rockland police arrested Javonte Glover, 20, early Friday, Nov. 13, and charged him with weapons-related offenses after detectives searching an address on Concord Street recovered a handgun, the Rockland Police Department said in a post on its Facebook page.

Rockland detectives carried out the search warrant with the Massachusetts State Police and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the department said. "During the search, a handgun was recovered, and Javonte Glover, age 20, was arrested and charged with weapons-related offenses," the department wrote.

The department listed the charges only as "weapons-related offenses," and the post thanked the State Police and the ATF. Newport Dispatch reported the same account of the arrest late Friday.

Glover is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.

South Shore 360 will update this story when the specific charges and the court date are made public.
