FREETOWN, Mass. — One man was taken into custody and another remains at large after a SWAT raid on a Massachusetts home on Monday morning yielded guns and drugs, authorities said.

Matthew Clark, 32, of Freetown, was arrested on charges of possession of a Class B Substance and possession of a Class B substance with intent to distribute in connection with the search of his residence in the area of Chace Road, according to the Freetown Police Department.

Frederick Clark, 46, wasn’t home at the time of the search, but police said he’s wanted on charges of three counts of possession of a firearm without an FID card, possession of ammunition without an FID card, and receiving stolen property under $1,200.
