Gammon was arrested on June 25 after Westbrook police learned that he possessed firearms. State records show that Gammon has a 1983 felony conviction for robbery. He was placed on leave from the fire department after his arrest.
Westbrook Police Chief Bill Baker said Gammon’s indictment was expected.
“The facts of the case are pretty straightforward and we look forward to proceeding to trial if that’s the choice the defendant makes,” he said.
Gammon is scheduled to be arraigned in court on Nov. 18.
