Scarborough police arrested a man at Walmart on Saturday afternoon who allegedly was carrying a firearm stolen from another community.

Shawn Small, 27, was arrested after police were notified that he was at the store with a stolen gun in his possession, police said in a statement.

Small resisted officers’ efforts to detain him and was handcuffed, police said. The suspected stolen weapon was found in Small’s bag, and he was taken to a hospital for a medical evaluation, police said.

Small will be held on a probation violation and charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, refusing to submit to arrest and unlawful possession of scheduled drugs, police said.
