UPDATED: NH Police Charge Medfield Man for Allegedly Pointing Gun at Driver

A Medfield man is facing criminal charges after he was arrested Thursday morning for allegedly pointing a gun at another driver while on Interstate 93 in New Hampshire, according to multiple media sources.

Fox 25 reports John Spyros Priovolos, 48, "was arrested Thursday morning at approximately 8:07 a.m. for pointing a gun at another driver while driving north on I-93 in Sanbornton."

Priovolos faces criminal threatening charges, according to Fox 25. The Associated Press via the Boston Herald adds Priovolos is also being charged for driving without a valid license.

New Hampton Police, according to Fox 25, stopped Priovolos and said the Medfield man was found in possession of "a handgun with a grip activated laser light."

According to a press release issued by New Hampshire State Police, a complaint was received after the incident occurred Thursday in Sanbornton, N.H.

"The complainant reported the driver of another vehicle allegedly pointed a handgun equipped with a laser sight at him as the two vehicles drove in close proximity to one another," said Sergeant Charles Johnston of the New Hampshire State Police through a press release.

According to Sgt. Johnston, "the suspect's vehicle was stopped near exit 23 by New Hampton Police."

"[Priovolos] was found to be in possession of a handgun with a grip activated laser sight," the release said. "The incident appeared to have resulted from a road rage type of incident that occurred between drivers."

New Hampton Police Chief Merritt D. Salmon told Medfield Patch Thursday night he stopped Priovolos on information provided by New Hampshire State Police and transported him back to the  New Hampton station. From there, according to Chief Salmon, a State Trooper arrived to interview Priovolos.

Priovolos, according to the Associated Press, was released "on his own recognizance" and will appear in New Hampshire Circuit Courts, District Division of Laconia and Franklin, N.H. at "a later date."

Chief Salmon said Priovolos will appear in court on the "expired driver's license charge" on Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2012 at 8:30 a.m. in Laconia Court.
