When New Milford Police were arresting a wrong way driver for being under the influence, officer found a stolen handgun.  28-year old Charles Cameron-Sheffield of Bridgeport was arraigned and released on bond for a court appearance on the 22nd for the December 16th incident. 

Police received a number of calls early that morning of a wrong way driver on Route 7 by New Milford High School.  The vehicle was located near the Brookfield town line when an off-duty Federal officer was able to get the keys to the car after the driver stopped.  With the help of Brookfield Police, the car was removed from the road. 

Cameron-Sheffield failed field sobriety tests and was arrested for DUI.  A search of the vehicle turned up a 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun.  A loaded magazine was found under the driver's seat.  Cameron-Sheffield does not have a valid Connecticut pistol permit and a nationwide check of the pistol's serial number showed that it had been stolen from a person in Georgia. 

In addition to the DUI, he was also charged with Stealing a Firearm;, Weapons in Vehicles, Reckless Driving, Failure to Drive in Proper Lane, and Driving Wrong Way on Divided Highway.
