BERLIN — On Saturday, Sept. 9, at about 4:30 p.m., the Berlin Police Department responded to 97 Main St. for a report of a man pointing a gun at his neighbor. Upon arrival, officers made contact with the suspect, 60-year-old Patrick Dube, who then retreated into his apartment with what appeared to be a pistol in hand. Officers responded from the Gorham Police Department, New Hampshire Fish and Game, State Police and the Coos County Sheriff’s Department. Dube surrendered himself after about an hour-long standoff.
Dube has been charged with five counts of criminal threatening with a deadly weapon and is currently being held at the Coos County House of Corrections pending a bail hearing on Monday.
Is not pointing a gun, (a deadly weapon), threatening another human being with it, warrant no less than a charge and maximum punishment for attempted murder? Until the court system starts serving up maximum punishment for gun owners with poor behavior, all of our lives will continue to be at risk. Enough is enough!
I mean the guy is gonna get his guns taken away and probably charged with a felony. No need to make taxpayers pay $60/k a year for 25+ years when there are simpler solutions.
