DANBURY - City detectives arrested a man after allegedly finding a .357 caliber revolver in his car.
Police said Nilander Oliveria, 29, of Shelton, is an illegal immigrant who was previously deported.
Danbury detectives received information indicating Oliveria was back in the area and checked with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to confirm that he had been deported.
He was stopped on Main Street Thursday at 3:25 p.m., according to police, and was arrested by ICE agents.
A search of his vehicle revealed a gun in the vehicle's console, police said.
Oliveira was charged with criminal possession of a pistol and having a weapon in a motor vehicle.
He also has an immigration detainer on him, which means will almost certainly be put into deportation proceedings after his local case is resolved.
Oliveira has previous convictions in Danbury Superior Court for creating a public disturbance and second-degree criminal mischief.
He received a $75 for the public disturbance case, which happened in 2001.
He received a six-month suspended sentence and a year probation for the criminal mischief conviction.
