BRIDGEPORT — A convicted felon who was caught with a firearm earlier this month told officers he had the gun for protection, an incident report said. Shawn Connery Charles, 27, of Hollister Avenue in Bridgeport, was charged with carrying a pistol without a permit and criminal possession of a firearm. Around 9 p.m. on June 20, an officer reported spotting a car driving on State Street without its headlights or taillights turned on. The officer said the car seemed to be driving at “a high rate of speed,” the incident report said. The officer stopped the car, with two occupants, near State and Main streets. The two occupants were later identified to be brothers. Charles was the front seat passenger.
