ALFRED, Maine - An Alfred man was arrested Monday after he allegedly began firing a gun inside and outside his Alfred home.

Thomas Prioa, 40, was taken into custody near his Route 202 home after deputies, state troopers and Sanford Police descended on the residence seeking to quell the disturbance.

A combative Prioa had to be tased in order to enable the arrest near a neighbor's house, according to a press release from the YCSO on Tuesday.

A young girl inside Prioa's home left the house uninjured and is now with relatives.
