DOVER - A Dover man has been accused of threatening his roommate with a handgun during an incident Wednesday night at his residence in the Polly Ann Trailer Park in Dover.

The incident unfolded around 10:50 p.m. when officers responded to 11 Polly Ann Trailer Park for a reported disturbance. Upon arrival, officers spoke with a roommate of the defendant, who reported being threatened with a firearm by Kevin Bourre, 52, inside his residence.

While officers were speaking with the victim on scene, Bourre exited his residence and discharged a handgun in an unknown direction before immediately retreating back inside the home, according to a release from Dover Police sent today.

Due to the nature of the incident, a shelter-in-place order was issued for the immediate area, and the Strafford County Regional Tactical Operations Unit responded to assist with taking Bourre into custody. Around 1:30 a.m. Bourre exited his residence and surrendered to officers.

Once the defendant was in custody, detectives from the Dover Police Department's Special Investigations Unit executed a search warrant at Bourre's residence to recover evidence related to the incident.

Bourre has been charged with Criminal Threatening with a Deadly Weapon and Reckless Conduct, both felony offenses. He declined the services of a bail commissioner and is being held at the Strafford County House of Corrections pending his arraignment today in Dover District Court.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Dover Police Department at 603-742-4646. Those wishing to remain anonymous can provide information to the Dover Crimeline at 603-749-6000.
