Norwalk Man Accused Of Carrying Gun Without Permit Arrested: Police

NORWALK, CT — A Norwalk man accused of carrying a gun without a permit was arrested last week, according to police.

In a news release, Police Lt. Tomasz Podgorski said the arrest was made in connection to an incident reported April 23 around 5:30 p.m., in which police responded to a disturbance on Cedar Street.

During their investigation, officers arrested William Hinton, 20, of Norwalk, after a brief foot chase. He was charged with interfering with an officer, according to Podgorski.

Police also searched the area of the foot pursuit and found a discarded 9mm Glock handgun, Podgorski said.

After a lengthy investigation that involved interviewing witnesses, reviewing video evidence and securing a search and seizure warrant, officers linked the handgun to Hinton, Podgorski said.

Hinton was arrested Friday and charged with carrying a pistol without a permit. He was held on a $75,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court later this month, according to Podgorski.
