BOSTON -- An 18-year-old state Senate page has pleaded not guilty to armed robbery and other charges.
Suffolk District Attorney's spokesman Jake Wark said Wednesday that Rha-Shon Sheffield of Boston was ordered held on $25,000 cash bail on the armed robbery charge and $50,000 bail on charges of possessing marijuana and a high-capacity firearms magazine.
Sheffield and two other men were arrested Tuesday when a state trooper allegedly found marijuana and a gun clip in their car after a traffic stop. Police also discovered a warrant accusing Sheffield of taking part in the knifepoint robbery of a Lowell man in January.
David Falcone, a spokesman for Senate President Therese Murray, told The Boston Globe that Sheffield has been terminated. Falcone did not immediately return calls for comment.
A telephone listing for Sheffield or his attorney could not immediately be found.
