Foxborough Police Nab North Carolina Man on Weapons, Drug Charges

FOXBOROUGH, MA — A call for a disturbance at a Foxborough motel led to the arrest of a North Carolina man, police said.

Matthew Sing, 36, of Supply, N.C., was taken into custody on Aug. 19 and charged with carrying a firearm without a license and three counts of possession of a Class E drug. He was arraigned in Wrentham District Court on Aug. 22 and is free on personal recognizance.

Friday night, Officers Kerry Kilroy and Lucas Drayton responded to a reported disturbance at the Comfort Inn right off of Route 140. The victim told police that she was in town with Sing for a Patriots game, a show at Fenway Park, and a trip to Martha's Vineyard. Police were told that following the incident, Sing left the room with a gun.

Sgt. John Chamberlin located Sing near the woods on Fisher Street. During a search of him and a vehicle, police located a gun with nine rounds of ammunition and bottles of Adderall, Tramadol, and ibuprofen. Sing allegedly told police that he had a permit to carry the gun in North Carolina, he didn't have a prescription for the Adderall, and the other two drugs were left in the car by someone else.

Police learned that Sing, a past felon, was not permitted to carry a firearm. He was taken into custody by Chamberlin.

Sing is due back in court on Sept. 29.
