PARIS – A firearms case against a convicted felon from East Boston ended Thursday when a judge suppressed evidence seized from his Woodstock camp.

Oxford County Superior Court Justice Ellen Gorman ruled that police were not justified in searching Jason A. Sarro’s camp on Mann Camp Road without a warrant on Dec. 13, 2003. They seized weapons, including an Uzi-type machine gun with high capacity ammunition packs, Maine State Trooper Daniel A. Hanson testified.

Sarro, 29, was arrested by Hanson the next day on a charge of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. According to Hanson’s affidavit, Sarro was convicted of trafficking in more than 14 grams of cocaine in 1999 in Massachusetts, prohibiting him from possessing firearms.

Hanson and Oxford County Sheriff’s Capt. James P. Miclon testified Thursday that they went to the camp last December to check on a young woman staying there who reported “finding dead bodies at the camp that were being covered up.”

“Jason and a gun call is a well-known complaint,” Miclon said. “We get calls from Massachusetts police that they’re looking for him,” he told attorney Valerie Carter of Massachusetts, who assisted attorney Ron Hoffman of Rumford with Sarro’s defense.

Miclon said he consulted with Assistant District Attorney Joseph O’Connor after going to the camp, to ask if officers could enter it without a search warrant to look for bodies.

He said O’Connor told him they had enough probable cause to look for anyone who might be dead, dying or injured inside.

Police entered the camp, seized several weapons and other items, Hanson said. They didn’t find any bodies, but later found the young woman delirious and frost bitten after fleeing the camp in fear, according to a court document.

Miclon got a search warrant after the fact.

Hoffman filed the motion last March to throw out the evidence police obtained from the camp.

The judge granted the mother, saying there were no urgent circumstances to justify conducting the search without proper documentation, “but that’s not to say that Miclon and Hanson didn’t have a reason to be there.”

She told them and prosecutor Assistant District Attorney Richard Beauchesne that they would have been better off telling O’Connor they were looking for the woman to check on her well-being.

Hoffman said the ruling closes the case.
