Portland police’s special reaction team and the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency raided a Grant Street apartment this morning seizing a rifle and charging one man with selling cocaine.
Police raided an apartment at 142 Grant St. at 2 a.m. As officers approached, people were already leaving the apartment, said Lt. Gary Rogers.
Police charged Joseph Cameron, 45, with aggravated trafficking in cocaine. The charge was more serious because the apartment is within a school zone, Rogers said. Police also seized a small amount of cocaine.
Police also charged Modou Fall, 47 and Mohamed Ahmed, 28 with possessing dangerous knives.
There were no major injuries in the incident but Cameron, who was barefoot, cut the bottom of his foot on broken glass, police said.
