According to Capt. Jerry Pinto of the Stratford Police Department, Narcotics and Vice detectives were patrolling the west side of Stratford when they noticed a blue Saturn travelling on Bruce Avenue with a Connecticut registration plate that belonged to a black Infiniti.

The detectives attempted to conduct a motor vehicle stop, but the driver of the Saturn, later identified as 20-year-old Tayvarie Newton, decided to engage the detectives in a slow-speed pursuit. After a short time, Newton eventually pulled into a driveway on Burritt Avenue.

During the investigation, it was discovered that Newton was in possession of an illegal ghost gun. Capt. Pinto explained that a ghost gun is a working firearm made from polymer material that lacks a serial number, also known as a Polymer 80.
