Facsimile Firearm Gets Man in Real Trouble

A facsimile gun got a Bridgeport man in real trouble Wednesday afternoon.

Arturo Icelo-Hernandez, 22, faces several charges after the pellet gun he had in his glove box looked like a real gun during a motor vehicle stop Wednesday afternoon, according to the Fairfield Citizen.

The Citizen reports that Icelo-Hernandez was pulled over because the registration didn’t match the car and when he reached into his glove box, he took out what appeared to be a black handgun that resembled a Glock.

Icelo-Hernandez was arrested on charges of weapons in a motor vehicle, carrying a facsimile firearm, misuse of a license plate, driving an unregistered motor vehicle and no insurance.
