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, April 17.

DILLAN FLORES, 33, of FAIRHAVEN, was arrested and charged with:

  • Carrying a Loaded Firearm Without a License to Carry
  • Possession of Ammunition without an FID
  • Assault with a Dangerous Weapon

Fairhaven Police received a call from the victim at 7:17 a.m. on Thursday, 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 FLORES in possession of a loaded firearm, and placed him under arrest.

FLORES does not hold a License to Carry in Massachusetts.

FLORES is expected to be arraigned at Third District Court in New Bedford.

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