Gunfire and a rogue off-road vehicle disrupted Lake Havasu City, resulting in the arrest of an armed local resident. On Saturday last week, police responded to a report of a Can-Am vehicle trespassing on Beachcomber Boulevard shortly before 1 p.m., as per Lake Havasu City official website.
The situation escalated when security personnel tried to stop the unauthorized driver, who nearly hit them while fleeing. During the chase, a guard fired at the vehicle's tires, leading to the arrest of 64-year-old Paul Woodly for disorderly conduct with a weapon. He was later released on his own recognizance after his first court appearance.
Fortunately, no one was injured during the incident involving Woodly, and authorities have confirmed there is no ongoing threat to the community. The vehicle, carrying two males, prompted a lookout for the driver, described as a man in his 20s with shoulder-length brown hair, while details about the passenger remain limited.
Lake Havasu City Police are asking the public for information related to the incident. They encourage anyone with details to contact their non-emergency line or Havasu Silent Witness to provide anonymous tips, allowing citizens to help without engaging in the legal process.
