Fairhaven man released on bail after allegedly pointing gun at driver, passenger on Route 6

FAIRHAVEN — Lt. Timothy Souza reports that the Fairhaven Police Department arrested a man on charges related to a road rage incident involving a loaded firearm that he allegedly pointed at another motorist on Thursday.

Fairhaven Police received a call from the victim at 7:17 a.m., stating that he was driving east on Route 6 in the area of Shaw Road when a white Dodge Caravan pulled up beside him. The victim stated that the lone occupant of the Caravan pointed a handgun at him and his male passenger, who were heading to work at the time.

The white Caravan then sped off east into Mattapoisett.

Mattapoisett Police located the white Caravan a short while later and pulled it over in the area of 88 North St. in Mattapoisett.

Fairhaven Police responded to that location, found 33-year-old Dillan Flores of Fairhaven in possession of a loaded firearm, and placed him under arrest.

Flores does not hold a License to Carry in Massachusetts.

He was charged with Carrying a Loaded Firearm Without a License to Carry, Possession of Ammunition without an FID, and Assault with a Dangerous Weapon.

Flores pled not guilty at his arraignment at Third District Court in New Bedford and was released on $1,000 cash bail.

His next scheduled court appearance is a hearing in June.

These are allegations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
