Police said an investigation brought them to the house of Jovanni Rivera on Eighteenth Street, where they found a loaded pistol.

Rivera didn’t have a license to carry and a trace of the serial number showed that the gun was stolen, according to police.

He was charged with possession of a large capacity firearm, possession of a firearm
without an FID card, possession of ammunition without an FID card, receiving stolen property, and resisting arrest.
