Florida man arrested for allegedly bringing guns to Milton military lab

MILTON, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- New York State Police reported the arrest of a Florida man after an incident at the Naval Nuclear Laboratory at the Kenneth A. Kesselring Site in Milton. Rolando Perez-Ruiz, 33, of Odessa, is facing numerous charges.

On November 20 around 12:15 p.m., troopers responded to the laboratory after receiving reports of someone being found with weapons at the site. The ensuing investigation determined that during a routine security inspection, multiple illegally owned guns, gun parts, weapon attachments, and ammunition were allegedly located in Perez-Ruiz's vehicle.

Perez-Ruiz was reportedly permitted at the facility and was picking up a delivery for the private transportation company he works for. State police say the weapons were never brandished during the incident, but that firearms are prohibited at the secured site.

Troopers took Perez-Ruiz into custody at the scene. He now faces the following charges:

• Second-degree criminal possession of a weapon
• Five counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon
• Two counts of fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon

Perez-Ruiz was arraigned at the Milton Town Court. He was then remanded to the Saratoga County Correctional Facility in lieu of $25,000 cash, a $50,000 bond, or a $250,000 partially secured bond.
