Norwalk Man Sentenced to 46 Months in Federal Prison for Firearm Offense After Leaving Loaded Glock in Restaurant Restroom
NEW HAVEN, Connecticut — The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut announced on November 10 that Christopher Miles, 41, of Norwalk, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Victor A. Bolden in New Haven to 46 months of imprisonment and three years of supervised release for unlawfully possessing a firearm. U.S. Attorney David X. Sullivan announced the sentence.
According to the evidence introduced during his trial, in the early morning hours of September 13, 2023, Miles left his loaded Glock 9mm pistol inside the public restroom of a restaurant in Norwalk. After a restaurant employee discovered the firearm while cleaning the restroom, the restaurant manager contacted the Norwalk Police Department. Analysis of surveillance video confirmed that Miles had entered the restroom shortly before an employee discovered the firearm, and also shows Miles twice returning to the restaurant in an attempt to retrieve it. Subsequent analysis of the firearm revealed the presence of Miles' DNA.
Miles' criminal history includes state convictions for assault in the first degree, possession with intent to distribute narcotics, and sale of a narcotic substance. It is a violation of federal law for a person previously convicted of a felony offense to possess a firearm or ammunition that has moved in interstate or foreign commerce.
Miles has been detained since his arrest on related state charges on November 21, 2023. On February 12, 2026, a federal jury found him guilty of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
The matter was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Norwalk Police Department, with the assistance of the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, Division of Scientific Services. The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Kenneth Gresham and Rahul Kale.
