Two more weapons, magazines and 165 rounds of ammunition were found during a raid on Rizzo’s apartment. Prosecutors say law enforcement officials also seized marijuana that was packaged for sale, as well as amounts of heroin, cocaine and drug paraphernalia that suggested drug use, which also made gun possession illegal.
