ICE Nabs Danbury Man After Speeding Ticket

DANBURY, CT — Federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested a Danbury man on Thursday after he was ticketed for speeding on Balmforth Avenue near downtown, the News Times is reporting.

Danbury police pulled Denisson Rodriguez, 50, over for driving 47 mph in a 25 mph speed limit zone just after 7 a.m. Thursday. After running his driver's license and personal information through the federal crime database, the officers learned he was wanted for an outstanding deportation order.

ICE was notified, and federal agents picked Rodriguez up from Danbury police headquarters later that morning.

This is the second time in just over a week that ICE made an an arrest inside Danbury. On July 6, Samuel Cruz-Coctecon was nabbed by federal agents on a 2013 deportation order on his way to Danbury Superior Court for a sentencing hearing on a domestic assault charge.
