State police arrested a man on drunk driving charges and seized a gun during a traffic stop in Killingly early Saturday morning.
Brent Walker, 31, of Danielson, faces charges of operating under the influence of alcohol, driving the wrong way on a divided highway, reckless endangerment, and carrying a dangerous weapon.
Police said that troopers pulled Walker over around 3:15 a.m. on I-395 near exit 38 because he was driving the wrong direction on the highway. Walker failed field sobriety tests, police said. Troopers also found a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol and two fully loaded magazines during the traffic stop.
Walker was arrested and issued a $2,500 bond. He is scheduled to appear in Danielson Superior Court on April 26.
