Quebec cops find missing Saguenay–Lac-St-Jean man
Police say André Paradis was found in Lac-Bouchette at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday and taken to hospital.
Sgt. Camille Savoie says he could face charges of uttering threats and careless use of a firearm, but those charges are yet to be confirmed because investigators have not been able to meet with the suspect. Police warned Lac-Bouchette residents on Saturday of an “immediate threat” in their region, but later downgraded the level of risk and began calling it a missing person’s case.
Officers said investigations conducted over the course of the day led police to reevaluate the risk to the public and lift the alert.
