Norwalk Man Arrested In Fairfield Found With Loaded Gun: Police

FAIRFIELD, CT — A Norwalk man arrested on a warrant Tuesday in Fairfield was found with a loaded gun in a bag, according to police.

In a news release, Police Lt. Joe Dinho said the arrest warrant stemmed from an Oct. 18 weapons investigation regarding an armed subject complaint in the area of Burnell Boulevard and Main Street in Norwalk.

On Tuesday, Norwalk police learned Kevin Felix, 21, had been spotted at a convenience store on the Post Road in Fairfield. Officers, along with Fairfield police, surveilled the area and quickly located Felix, Dinho said.

When officers approached Felix, he reached around to a bag hanging off his shoulder, but officers quickly gained control and placed him under arrest, Dinho said.

Officers found a loaded 357 Magnum handgun inside the bag, which was turned over to Fairfield police, Dinho said.

Felix was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit and breach of peace. His bond was set at $150,000 and he was scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

At the time of this arrest, Felix was out of jail on a $50,000 bond from an October firearms arrest in Bridgeport, Dinho said.
