Fall River - A 16-year-old boy is facing an array of gun and drug charges after allegedly being found with a stolen gun.
Police said officers Robert Rondeau and John Ruggiero arrested the 16-year-old city resident at about 6:20 p.m. Saturday after responding to a call in the Maple Gardens housing development on another matter.
