Illegal possession of a firearm. Distribution of heroin. Distribution of cocaine. Soliciting sex. The charges speak of violence and neighborhood plagues related to the arrests (see below) of 211 men and women made by city, state and federal police in the 13-day "Operation Full Throttle" announced Thursday (April 16). "People have to be held accountable for their actions," Police Chief James M. Neiswanger said. Of the total, 24 people were arrested at a 40-unit apartment block at Appleton and Elm streets that has drawn police to deal with hundreds of crimes in the past few years, he said. Police seized 9,250 plastic bags of heroin, more than 1,100 grams of cocaine, four handguns, an assault rifle and $60,000 cash, he said. The sweep began April 3 with police investigating a shooting behind 200 Oak St. that Neiswanger said resulted in prevention of a murder, and continued to Thursday morning. The arrests were made as a result of raids, traffic stops and investigations in the Downtown, Churchill, South Holyoke and the Flats neighborhoods, he said. Police provided names and charges of only about 111 of the 211 people arrested because no one was available to type in the rest of the information, Lt. James Albert said.
