$2 Million Bond Set For Enfield Man Charged With Drug, Firearm Crimes

ENFIELD, CT — An investigation into suspected criminal activity of a resident of the Bigelow Commons apartment complex on Main Street resulted in execution of a search and seizure warrant Thursday morning.

As Enfield police, in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration Springfield and Hartford Resident Offices and the DEA New England SRT, executed the warrant at Apartment 6236, the subject of the investigation, Rahkeem Blakely, 34, interfered with the execution, Police Chief Alaric Fox said.

As a result of the investigation and warrant service, five illegal handguns - one of which was confirmed to have been stolen - were seized, as were about 400 grams of cocaine and crack cocaine and a large amount of cash, Fox said.

Blakely was charged with operating a drug factory, possession of narcotics with intent to distribute, five counts of criminal possession of a firearm, possession of a stolen firearm, five counts of negligent storage of a firearm, interfering with a search warrant, violation of a large capacity magazine ban, possession of drug paraphernalia and third-degree criminal mischief.

A $2 million surety bond was set, and Blakley was slated to be arraigned Friday in Hartford Superior Court.
