Suspect Points Loaded Shotgun

WBPN says the incident kicked off on June 3 at around 6:30 p.m. after the sheriff’s office got a report about a convicted felon in possession of a gun at a home with children present.

Two sheriff’s deputies pulled up started approaching the residence on foot when—as the body cam footage shows—a man later identified as 39-year-old James Avery Blevins emerged from behind a corner of the house and aimed a shotgun at them.

Blevins was arrested and transported to McLaren Northern Michigan Hospital for treatment. He initially faced six charges, including felon in possession of a firearm; felon in possession of ammunition; assault with a dangerous weapon; felony firearm possession; dangerous weapon possession-metallic knuckles; and assault with intent to commit murder.
