An Alden man was arrested late Thursday after Erie County sheriff’s deputies responding to a disturbance call recovered a handgun.

When Deputies Emily Nelson and Simon Biegasiewicz arrived at the scene shortly before midnight, the behavior of Michael Maciejewski, 33, was “tumultuous and disorderly,” according to deputies.

After he calmed down, the deputies learned that Maciejewski possessed a .40-caliber handgun.

Maciejewski was charged with a misdemeanor count of criminal possession of a weapon and disorderly conduct.

He was released after arraignment in Alden Town Court.
