Police Bust Three, Charge Them With Drug, Gun Offenses

Officers from the Boston Police Department’s drug control unit arrested three men in Charlestown this week and charged them with a string of weapon and drug-dealing offenses.

On Wednesday, according to BPDNews.com, officers were watching a man known as Kevin Denis aka “Killa,” 20 of Brockton, in the Bunker Hill Housing Development when they saw him and two other men get into a car. Shortly after, police stopped the car for questioning.

In addition to Kevin Denis, police said, they found Prince Denis, also known as “P” or “Cheese,” 21, of Brockton in the vehicle—a man police said has been known to carry a firearm and deal drugs.

Upon frisking “Cheese,” the report said, officers found a handgun (a second handgun was later found in the glove box in front of Kevin Denis). They then frisked the third man in the car, Marvin Lafontant, 24, of Hyde Park.

“When the officer reached Lafontant’s buttocks area he felt a large ball that was not consistent with Lafontant’s anatomy,” police said.

The officer asked Lafontant to remove whatever he had hidden, but, police said, Lafontant told them there was nothing there.

Later, at the station, “Lafontant placed his right hand under his pants in the front of his body and removed two (2) large plastics bags containing smaller individual plastic bags containing substances believed to be heroin and crack cocaine. The second large plastic bag contained many smaller individually wrapped bags of tan powder believed to be heroin.”

During the booking process, police said, officers also found a plastic bag of material believed to be marijuana on Prince Denis.

Police charged Lafontant with possession with intent to distribute a class A substance within 1,000 feet of a school zone, possession with intent to distribute a class B substance within 1,000 feet of a school zone, unlawful possession of firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, possession of a loaded firearm, and possession of firearm while in commission of a felony. Lafontant also charged with charged with second and subsequent offense due to lengthy criminal history.

Kevin “Killa” Denis was charged with possession with intent to distribute a class A substance within 1,000 feet of a school zone, possession with intent to distribute a class B substance within 1,000 feet of a school zone, unlawful possession of firearm, unlawful possession of loaded firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and possession of firearm while in commission of a felony.

Police charged the other Denis, Prince “Cheese” Denis, with unlawful possession of firearm, unlawful possession of loaded firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and possession with intent to distribute a class D substance within 1,000 feet of a school zone. He was also charged with an additional possession firearm, possession loaded firearm, and possession ammunition stemming from another incident.
