(Don’t go there, J. Paul Brown would never pack a .22 – promoted by Colorado Pols)
Republican State Representative Frederick Ladd Wintle was arrested today for pulling a loaded .22 caliber handgun on a local newspaper photographer in the parking lot of Dunkin Donuts in Garland, Maine.
In what is described as a series of “bizarre” events, Wintle struck up a conversation with a Morning Sentinel photographer, Michael Seamans, about an infant death at a local homeless shelter. He declared he was searching for the infant mother’s drug dealer and then accused Seamans of being the drug dealer in question and pulled a gun on him.
Wintle faces charges of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon and carrying a concealed weapon.
A self described local historian, Wintle composes short stories and according to his written biography, “was born on opening day of deer hunting season October 21, 1952.”
In his spare time when not threatening to shoot innocent bystanders in the parking lot of the local donut shop, Fred “enjoys refurbishing antique furniture and spending time with his five children.”
Well, except for this weekend, since he couldn’t make his $3,500 bail and instead is spending some quality time at the local county jail. What a crappy way to ride out the rapture.

or is a Remington?
probably a Colt. I am about to be schooled by someone who knows more about this than I, I am sure, but I think Remington made mostly long guns, Colt mostly handguns.
There must be exceptions…and I’m guessing the question was probably rhetorical anyway…
or a 44 mag. Ruger, probably, unless he’s cheap.
Isn’t he the fundamentalist shepherd. No need for firearms, just bust one ’em up side the head with your trusty sling.
Mike Seamans was a photographer at the Coloradoan for a couple of years until leaving about 18 months ago and returning to his home state of Maine.
What was anyone doing at a Dunkin Donuts, let alone two people? Chilling. What’s the world coming to?
