New Bedford man with lengthy record arrested after bar shooting

A New Bedford man with an extensive criminal history, including dozens of arraignments, is now facing eight additional charges after a shooting outside a local bar, police announced Thursday.

 

On Sunday, Oct. 27, officers responded to reports of gunfire near Redwood Saloon off Cove Road, where they found multiple shell casings and a live round.

 

A week later, police searched the apartment of 43-year-old Jordan Caetano, discovering a backpack containing an unsecured large-capacity handgun, a high-capacity feeding device and 255 rounds of ammunition.

 

Police noted that Caetano is “no stranger” to law enforcement, with 84 adult arraignments and a recent four-to-six-year prison sentence for armed robbery. Since his release, he was also arrested on a domestic violence charge, though he only received a suspended sentence.
