One Less Gun on the Streets!Last night, officers from District B-3 (Mattapan) arrested suspect, Donte Henley, 18, of South Boston and charged him with Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Unlawful Possession of Ammunition, Possession of a High Capacity Feeding Device, Carrying a Loaded Firearm, Receiving Stolen Goods and Resisting Arrest.
Around 6:57PM last night, February 4, 2009, officers were on patrol in the area of Blue Hill and Talbot Avenues when they observed two known individuals walking in the area. As officers neared the two individuals they observed them come almost to a complete stop and direct their attention to the unmarked police cruiser. As officers continued their approach of the two, officers noticed that one of the two speed up his pace and motion for the other individual he was walking with to leave the area. Officers decided to perform threshold inquiries of the two as they did so, one of the two suspects took off running at a full sprint. Officers followed the suspect both on foot and by car and at one point observed the suspect reach into his jacket and begin to take out what appeared to be the butt end of a firearm. Officers, at this point, fearing that the suspect may be taking the gun to use it against them ordered the suspect to drop the gun. The suspect at that time tossed the gun and continued to run.
The suspect was apprehended shortly thereafter by assisting officers who struggled to place him in handcuffs despite numerous orders to place his hands behind him and stop resisting. Officers then recovered the semi-automatic firearm, which the suspect had thrown in his attempt to elude capture. During subsequent investigation, officers learned that the gun that the suspect had been reported, and that it had a high capacity magazine containing 18 rounds.
Leave Justice to the Police and Courts
