FALL RIVER, Mass. (WLNE) — A man was arrested in Fall River on Saturday after police said he fired shots at a couple’s vehicle.
35-year-old Miguel Acosta Montalvo is facing a long list of charges after officials said they received reports of possible shots fired at Riverside Sports Bar on Rodman Street at around 11:45 p.m. on Saturday.
During the investigation, officers discovered that Montalvo had attempted to allegedly antagonize a male and female with whom he previously had an altercation at another location.
When he appeared to have left the area, the parties quickly attempted to leave in their vehicle, only to have Montalvo allegedly return and discharge multiple rounds in the direction of the victim’s vehicle.
No one was struck by the gunshots, according to police.
While officers attempted to stop Montalvo, his car struck three parked vehicles.
He was eventually apprehended and charged with with possession of a firearm without an FID, possession of ammunition without an FID, assault with a dangerous weapon (3 counts), leaving the scene of an accident-causing property damage (3 counts), fail to stop for police, armed assault to murder (3 counts), and OUI liquor.
Officers said they did locate a gun nearby on the Roadman Street sidewalk.
