Worcester Police said much of the evidence they needed to make an arrest was in plain view.

Kristo Nestiano, 19, of Worcester, was arrested on assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of ammunition without an FID Card, and possession of a Class D substance with intent to distribute, police said.

At around 6:45 p.m. on Monday, Worcester Police were called to the Fiske Street area for a report of a gun. Nestiano allegedly approached two people, brandished a gun, pointed it at them, then fled, police said.

Soon thereafter, police found Nestiano in his vehicle. In the backseat, in plain view, was what appeared to be 1 lb. of marijuana, police said. Also allegedly inside the vehicle, sitting in plain view, was a lot of cash “consistent with the distribution of narcotics,” police said. Officers also recovered ammunition.
