AUGUSTA (AP) — A Winslow man has pleaded guilty to pointing a loaded gun at two of his sons and the boyfriend of his ex-wife.
The ex-wife is a former state representative.
Wilfred Morissette, 50, entered guilty pleas to three counts of reckless conduct on Thursday at the Capital Judicial Center.
According to Winslow police, former state Rep. Susan Morissette, three of her four children and her boyfriend drove into her driveway in May 2014.
When they arrived, they found Wilfred Morissette outside his house across the street with a gun.
Her boyfriend called 911. Upon taking Morissette into custody, police seized a loaded handgun from him.
Each charge against Morissette carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
Sentencing is to take place on Oct. 16.
Until then he remains free on $5,000 cash bail.
