Bridgeport, CT – On February 26, 2025, Officer Fischetti conducted a motor vehicle stop after observing multiple violations. The driver, identified as 32-year-old Andre J. Lewison of Bridgeport, was accompanied by three juveniles.

During the stop, officers discovered a loaded black Stoeger STR-9C handgun with a laser inside the vehicle. The firearm, which was later determined to be stolen out of North Carolina, contained a 13-round magazine with 13 live 9mm rounds.

Lewison was charged with failure to display plates and having tinted auto glass. He was also charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, weapons in a motor vehicle, stealing a firearm, illegal possession of a large-capacity firearm, and illegal alteration of firearm indents. Additionally, he was charged with criminal possession of a firearm, two counts of risk of injury to a child, and reckless endangerment in the second degree. His bond was set at $50,000.

Traffic Stop in Bridgeport Leads to Arrest, Illegal Gun Seized

On February 27, 2025, at 7:51 PM, Bridgeport Police stopped a Black Chevrolet Camaro near Iranistan Ave and Laurel Ave due to a heavily tinted windshield. As Officer Fischetti activated his emergency lights, the driver, 27-year-old Nytwan Brown of Derby, attempted to back into a driveway. A records check revealed Brown had an active warrant out of North Branford. He was taken into custody, and a search of his vehicle uncovered a Taurus .45 caliber firearm with a heavily scratched-off serial number under the driver’s seat. Brown was charged with multiple offenses, including carrying a pistol without a permit and illegal possession of a weapon in a motor vehicle. His bond was set at $15,000.

Call for Federal Investigation into CT Election Fraud

Republican leaders in the Connecticut General Assembly have written to U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi today to formally request a federal investigation into whether election crimes in Bridgeport are part of a larger, coordinated effort to defraud voters statewide.

Following the recent arrest of Democratic Bridgeport City Councilman Alfredo Castillo on multiple election-related charges, GOP lawmakers are urging federal officials to examine whether the fraudulent tactics uncovered in Bridgeport—ballot tampering, forgery, coercion, and the registration of illegal voters—are being replicated elsewhere in Connecticut.

“Councilman Castillo’s own words suggest a broader operation at play, involving efforts to benefit high-profile Democratic candidates at the state and federal levels,” said House Republican Leader Vincent Candelora. “We cannot ignore the possibility that these corrupt practices extend beyond Bridgeport.”

Senate Republican Leader Stephen Harding emphasized the urgent need for outside intervention. “The failure of state agencies to act swiftly on election crimes has eroded public confidence in our electoral process,” Harding said. “A federal investigation is critical to ensuring transparency and accountability.”

Republican lawmakers also pointed to the Democratic-controlled legislature’s refusal to enact meaningful election safeguards and the governor’s failure to fund election monitors in Bridgeport as further evidence of systemic neglect.

“We cannot allow partisan interests to stand in the way of election integrity. Voters deserve to know whether Bridgeport’s fraudulent practices are happening in other cities across Connecticut,” said Rep. Gale Mastrofrancesco and Sen. Rob Sampson, Ranking Members of the Government Administration and Elections Committee. “Republicans have continually called for election safeguards, including presenting identification when voting, ending the use of absentee drop boxes and signature verification for all absentee ballots. Instead of joining us in helping to secure our elections, majority Democrats have ignored those efforts, and it is clear that intervention from outside investigators is necessary.”

The request for a federal investigation underscores Republicans’ commitment to protecting the integrity of Connecticut’s elections and ensuring that every legal vote is counted fairly.
