Man in Conn. gun scare pleads not guilty
A Connecticut man pleaded not guilty Tuesday to weapons charges stemming from a gun scare at the University of New Haven last month. William Dong entered the plea Tuesday in Milford Superior Court to state charges including illegal possession of an assault weapon, said his lawyer, Fred Paoletti. Dong, 23, also was charged last week by federal authorities with unlawful transport of a semiautomatic Bushmaster rifle. An agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives said in an affidavit that Dong told him that he bought the rifle in Pennsylvania in September.
