CROSS LAKE - On Sunday, July 1, Maine State Police received a report that someone was firing shots in the direction of a passing car on Cyr Road in Cross Lake.  

According to a press release from the state police, a vehicle was driving past a camp where a party was taking place, and, after driving past, the operator of the vehicle heard a gunshot in his direction.

Trooper Rob Flynn went to Cyr Rd and located two 17-year-old juveniles who admitted to shooting a shotgun in the air but denied shooting at any cars.

Flynn summonsed the juveniles for reckless conduct with a firearm and police called their parents to come pick them up.

Upon further investigation, Tr. Flynn located the camp where people were holding the party.  He found several other juveniles that had been drinking.

As a result of the investigation, Flynn charged 20-year-old Peter Smith of Cross Lake with providing a place for minors to consume alcohol.

Again, police called parents and all involved minors either received rides home or their parents picked them up.

U.S. Border Patrol agents assisted Tr. Flynn at the scene.
