A Bridgeport man was arrested in Fairfield Friday after police reportedly discovered brass knuckles on his person during a traffic stop.

Michael Decampos, 31, was pulled over at the intersection of Kings Highway East and Warren Ave late Friday because the motorcycle he was operating had illegal blue under lights, police said.

According to the report, Decampos appeared to be nervous and was fumbling while trying to find his license and insurance card. Police, concerned he may have been concealing a weapon, conducted a pat down and found the brass knuckles on his person.

Decampos called a friend to bring his motorcycle insurance card, but he could not produce a valid motorcycle license, police said. The friend, Jason Scott, 32, also of Bridgeport, was also arrested when he arrived on scene on a state police warrant for evading responsibility, according to the report. He was turned over to state troopers.

Decampos was charged with carrying a dangerous weapon and operating a vehicle with unauthorized colored lights. He was released on a promise to appear in court on Sept. 5.
