PARIS — Police arrested an armed Lewiston man early Saturday after he called 911 and threatened to drive into a tree unless they stopped him, according to a Paris Police Department Facebook post.

Jonathan Blouin, 22, was arrested and charged with driving to endanger, refusing to submit to arrest, operating under the influence, reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon and leaving the scene of an accident.

Police responded to the High Street area around 1:08 a.m. Saturday after 911 received a call from a man, later identified as Blouin, who made “multiple disturbing comments,” police said.

Blouin threatened to drive into a tree at 1:30 a.m. if police did not stop him.

Dispatch alerted officers that Blouin was doing burnouts in the area of High Street while shooting a gun.

When police located Blouin in his vehicle, he accelerated and swerved at officers’ cruisers before leaving the scene.

Officers found him on Main Street, where he was arrested without incident, the release said. A handgun and ammunition were found inside his vehicle.

Police transported Blouin to a hospital where he was cleared medically and then transported to the Oxford County Jail.

The release said further criminal charges are pending in the investigation.
