An early morning police raid of a suspected Stanton Street drug den resulted in the seizure of a high capacity assault rifle and the arrest of a 39 year-old Dorchester man. The Boston Police Drug Control Unit, aided by the BPD's Entry and Apprehension Team, burst into the first floor apartment of 68 Stanton St. Inside they say they found eight pit bull dogs, six adults and an infant.

Canez Tout Puissant of Dorchester was cuffed and taken away on warrants. Police also found a Ruger assault rifle "with two banana clips loaded with 46 rounds of ammunition, a loaded Beretta
semi-automatic handgun, and four containers of what is believed to be marijuana," according to a BPD report. Puissant will be arraigned today in Dorchester District Court.
