Pit Bulls Attack Police During Massachusetts Drug Den Raid

Four officers were injured while executing a search warrant at a Webster snack shop suspected of illegal drug sales.

Two pit bulls attacked officers during a March 5 drug raid at Mr. Exotix, a Webster, Massachusetts snack shop under investigation for narcotics distribution.
Four officers were injured, with three hospitalized, including one requiring 11 stitches for a leg wound caused by the dogs.
Police used Tasers and pepper spray to subdue the dogs, which are now under a 10-day quarantine due to expired rabies vaccinations.
Suspects Gabriel Blandino and Jeffrey Salley were arrested and face multiple charges, including drug trafficking, firearm violations, and obstruction of justice.
Authorities allege the shop had been openly selling drugs, including to minors, and recovered marijuana, THC products, an unlicensed firearm, and other contraband.
