BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A Roman Catholic priest arrested on federal firearm charges last week is being released from prison.
A detention hearing was held Thursday for the Rev. Paul Gotta, who was charged with aiding and abetting the unlawful transport of a firearm and the purchase of a handgun by a juvenile. The U.S. Attorney’s office says he will be released Friday on $500,000 bond and confined to his sister’s Bridgeport home.
Documents in the case were sealed.
A telephone message was left with Gotta’s attorney.
