What a nice photo with everything presented neatly...

BOSTON (WHDH) - A Dorchester man was busted with an array of firearms and drugs, including a scoped rifle and heroin, following a traffic stop in Boston on Tuesday, officials said.

Officers executing a search a warrant in connection with a drug investigation pulled over 42-year-old Dana Sams in the area of 236 Seaver St. around 5 p.m., according to the Boston Police Department.

A search of Sams’ vehicle is said to have yielded 20 grams of heroin, four grams of powdered cocaine, 24 grams of crack cocaine, and nearly $2,000 in cash.

Detectives then raided Sams’ Florida Street residence and recovered a .22 caliber scoped rifle, a 9mm Mac-11 machine pistol, a 9mm handgun, a .380 caliber handgun, numerous rounds of various calibers of ammunition, and seven assorted extended magazines, according to police.

Sams is charged with four counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm, seven counts of unlawful possession of a large capacity feeding device, and trafficking class A and B drugs.

He is slated to be arraigned in Dorchester District Court.

Not a scoped, bastardized .22!!!!

Is the Mac-11 really full-auto???? Or ignert-reporting?

Best might be the shotgun rounds. LOL.

Wouldn’t have pegged him for a Partridge hunter.

20 grams of heroin is an awful lot, $2k and at least 100 doses. And the crack!

They really half-assed the cash arrangement.

DAILY INCIDENTS FOR THURSDAY, JULY 30, 2009

Around 11:04PM last night, officers from District B-3 (Mattapan) arrested suspect, Dana C. Sams, 32, of Dorchester and charged him with Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Unlawful Possession of Ammunition, Possession of a Loaded Firearm and Operating a Motor Vehicle after Revocation. Officers were on patrol in the area of 1583 Blue Hill Ave. when they responded to the rear of the Avenue Tavern as part of their patrol duties. There, officers observed a car with its engine running with someone inside. Aware of complaints of drug use in the area and the fact there are posted “no trespassing, no loitering” signs posted in the back of the building, officers approached the car to conduct a threshold inquiry. As officers approached the suspect immediately tried to get out of the car and walk away. Officers stopped the suspect and immediately detected a strong odor of marijuana on the suspect and emanating from the car. During the stop, officers could clearly observe that the suspect was shaking and demonstrated other signs of nervousness. Based on the smell of marijuana, the suspect’s location and his conduct, officers asked him if there was anything on him that he should not have. The suspect answered officers’ question and told them that he had a bag of marijuana on his person. Officers then asked the suspect id he had anything else on his person and he did not respond. At this same time, officers checked on the suspect’s information and determined that his license was revoked. Officers then conducted a cursory check of the suspect’s motor vehicle which revealed a loaded firearm. The suspect was then arrested and charged with the above offenses and issued a citation for the marijuana.

[Dennis in MA]

I wouldn't waste ANY space in my safe for it, personally.

Squirrels can sleep easy tonight knowing that dangerous rifle is off the streets

Something tells me he still has a shotgun stashed somewhere, crazy I know huh?

Good work , a scumbag temporarily out of the game.

And the zoo animals across the street. Literal zoo animals. Right across the street.

 

[fstkmaro]

How can this be? Boston has strict gun restrictions. How is this possible? and a repeat offender to boot? Hmmm

 

[Drix]

I see this and immediately think "They missed his shotgun"

 

[Penniepup1]

I see they didn’t put his LTC out in the array.

 

[1776]

Looks like he was getting ready to go to Brockton

 

[richc]

I think the cops lined up those rounds in a slightly curved manner so they would fit properly in the banana magazines...

Not for nothing, but if he stuck it in your passenger window while you were at the red light,

Pucker factor will go to 10.

Yeah, bills should show the obverse - not the reverse.

Ever since we moved here in 1981, I've been trying to figure out:
why do the signs always say "No Trespassing - Police Take Notice",
yet the cops inevitably barge right on in anyhow?

Its one of those red dot scopes that the boolets track the lazer in mid flight to kill cook babies around corners.

FTFY.

I see they didn’t put his LTC out in the array.

No BPD shoulder patch on the table, either.
