WALLINGFORD, Conn. (WFSB) - A 48-year-old Waterbury man has been arrested for carrying a BB handgun in a Wallingford Walmart.

The caller informed police that the suspects, two women, and a man, were in the process of trying to shoplift again.

Officers detained the three suspects as they exited the store without incident, police said in a press release.

The man, 48-year-old Edgar Rivera, was found to have a black BB handgun in his vest pocket, which resembled a real handgun.

He was charged with carrying a dangerous weapon and held on a $15,000.00 surety bond.
