Police: Guns, Ammo Found During Traffic Stop
Man Could Face Federal Weapons Charges
BOSTON -- An 18-year-old Connecticut man will be in a Clinton courtroom on Thursday after several guns, other weapons and ammunition were allegedly found in his truck during a traffic stop.
State police said a trooper found an assault rifle, a shotgun, a bullet-proof vest, ammunition, brass knuckles and knives in the truck of Luke S. Huizinga, 18, of Danbury, Conn., after a traffic stop on Interstate 495 in Bolton early Thursday morning. The trooper stopped the 2000 Ford Ranger after it was spotted swerving in and out of lanes on the highway, state police said.
Trooper Shaun Bellao found a knife and more ammunition on Huizinga. Huizinga allegedly told police he was headed to a wedding in Maine, the Telegram and Gazette reported.
State police said troopers found a 16-inch Bushmaster assault rifle, a Remington 12-gauge shotgun with a pistol grip (how Evil), seven 30-round magazine ammunition clips and several boxes of ammunition. The assault rifle and the shotgun had both been modified and each gun was equipped with laser sightings, the paper reported.
Huizinga was charged with marked lanes violation, possession of a large-capacity firearm, possession of a firearm, seven counts of possession of high-capacity feeding devices, possession of a dangerous weapon and unlawful possession of ammunition. Huizinga could face federal charges, including transporting guns across state lanes and not having a license to carry firearms, the paper reported.
Huizinga was held on $10,000 cash bail and is scheduled to be arraigned in Clinton District Court on Thursday.
I wonder if it was a shotgun weddding?
