Quebec police find the missing Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean man who was originally alerted
MONTREAL — Quebec provincial police have found a missing man in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region who was originally described as potentially armed and dangerous.
Police say André Paradis was found in Lac-Bouchette around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday and taken to hospital.
Sergeant Camille Savoie says he could be charged with making threats and carelessly using a firearm, but those charges have yet to be confirmed as detectives have been unable to meet the suspect.
Police warned Lac-Bouchette residents on Saturday of an “imminent threat” in their region, but later downgraded the risk level and began calling it a missing person case.
Officers said investigations conducted during the day led police to re-evaluate the risk to the public and withdraw the warning.
Savoie says it is not clear when Paradis is due to appear in court.
