FB post by Independent Online News: An out-of-state motorist had a young child with him when he pointed a gun at a group of people in another vehicle on Route 287, authorities confirmed.
A group of New Jersey State Police troopers seized Christopher Paul, 44, of Canadensis, PA, at the Ramsey Square shopping center on northbound Route 17 around 1 p.m. Friday (Nov. 28th), multiple witnesses said.
He was driving a Tesla SUV and had a young child with him, they said.
New Jersey State Police Trooper II Christopher Postorino said Paul was behind the wheel of the Tesla when he brandished a firearm at another vehicle at Exit 55 in Wanaque just moments earlier.
Troopers quickly located the Tesla, converged on Paul and took him into custody.
They also seized the gun and illegal ammo and notified state child protective services, sources with knowledge of the incident said. Ramsey police also responded, they said.
Paul was charged with four counts of aggravated assault with a firearm (one for the driver and each passenger), possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, possession of hollow-point ammunition and child endangerment.
He remained held today (Monday) in Bergen County's jail, which lists him as a U.S.-born American citizen.
