(Wakefield, MA) -- New details have emerged about the standoff between the Rhode Island-based Rise of the Moors militia group and the Massachusetts State Police over the Fourth of July weekend. Wakefield, Mass. police chief Steven Skory told the town council on Monday that a regional SWAT team used a "sonic cannon" to incapacitate a number of the Moors on Interstate 95 in that town. Wakefield's public works department also positioned dump trucks with plows on the highway to prevent the suspects from fleeing. The Moors, who believe they have sovereignty over U.S. laws, were heavily armed and they were arrested for not having any licenses to carry the weapons.
