The Haddam Neck security guard detained the driver and summoned the Connecticut State Police from Troop K, Colchester, Connecticut, who arrested the driver allegedly under the direction of the Governor's office.
It was determined that the driver was legally in possession of the shotgun, however, the State Police detained the driver pending the results of an analysis of the supposedly controlled substance.
