On February 17, 2024, at about 3:35 AM, officers from the District B-2 (Roxbury) Anti-Crime Unit arrested 31-year-old Gary Whynter of Mattapan after a traffic stop in Dorchester. Officers observed his vehicle run a red light near Bowdoin Street and Geneva Avenue and initiated a stop at 13 Harvard Street. During the encounter, an officer saw the grip of a firearm on Whynter, who attempted to flee by reaching for the gear shift. Officers removed him safely and recovered a Polymer 80 firearm with 15 rounds in the magazine and 9 additional rounds in a spare magazine. The two passengers were released, and Whynter was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and unlawful possession of a large-capacity feeding device. He was arraigned in Dorchester District Court.
