Springfield Police Arrest Six, Seize Guns and Drugs

Springfield police made several arrests in separate operations targeting illegal firearms and drugs. Two 16-year-old boys were arrested after a gun was found in their apartment, where six other children were present, but their identities and charges were not disclosed due to age. In a separate incident on Worthington Street, police responded to a reported fight involving armed suspects, detaining Tyrease Arzola, Jordan Arkins, Ezier Santiago, and a 17-year-old juvenile, and seizing four illegal guns—including a high-capacity ghost gun—and ten bags of heroin. The adult suspects face multiple gun and drug-related charges. Additionally, 28-year-old Luis Ortiz was arrested after a traffic stop for driving with a revoked registration and no license, during which police discovered a loaded firearm in his vehicle. These cases underscore Springfield police's ongoing efforts to curb gun violence and illegal firearms in the community.
