WORCESTER — Worcester Police Department’s Crime Gun Intelligence Unit and Gang Unit arrested a man on several gun-related charges following a traffic stop on Nov. 7 at approximately 6:35 p.m.
Detectives observed a vehicle driven by 34-year-old Deng Jiff Vilayvanh failing to halt at a stop sign.
When officers attempted to pull over the vehicle on Harrison Street, Vilayvanh did not comply and instead drove to a nearby residence.

These include Carrying a Firearm Without a License, Possession of a Large Capacity Firearm, Possession of Ammunition Without an FID Card, Carrying a Loaded Firearm Without a License, Failure to Stop for Police, Operating to Endanger, Stop Sign Violation, and Failure to Properly Display a License Plate Number.
