BRIDGEPORT — Newly reelected Bridgeport City Council member Alfredo Castillo was arrested Tuesday, for the fourth time on charges related to absentee ballot fraud.

As we discussed in our latest podcast episode of Also In Bridgeport, Castillo was recently re-elected after being backed by the Democratic Town Committee, despite the fact that he already faced criminal charges related to the 2019 and 2023 mayoral primaries.
