Felon On Parole Had Gun: New Haven PD

NEW HAVEN, CT — Officers arrested a convicted felon who was on parole with a gun during a traffic stop, according to police.

An officer spotted a grey Acura with no front plate and tinted windows at 10:22 p.m. Feb. 6, said Officer David Hartman, police spokesman. The officer smelled burnt marijuana and eventually driver Dylon Hubson handed over a bag. They also took a couple hundred dollars and a digital scale.

Hubson didn't have a driver's license and the vehicle wasn't registered, Hartman said. Passenger Edwin Moreno appeared nervous. During a pat down a gun was found on his waist. The gun was reported stolen from New Haven in 2015.

Hubson was charged driving a vehicle with illegally tinted windows, failing to display a front plate, driving without a license, operating an unregistered ride, failure to carry a valid insurance card, possession of a controlled substance with the intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Moreno was charged with criminal possession of a pistol, possession of a stolen firearm and carrying a pistol without a permit.

"We told his Parole Officer everything too," Hartman said.
