WILDWOOD – A Rio Grande man was arrested just after midnight, Sept. 3, on various charges related to possession of a sawed-off shotgun.

At approximately 12:20 a.m., Wildwood Police Department received information that a man was in possession of a firearm in front of a business in the 2700 block of Pacific Avenue.

After setting up a multiblock perimeter around the location, two patrol officers approached the suspect, identified as Dondre Spencer, 31.
