The man – whose name was redacted from the report – said he was in fear for his life when held at gunpoint.

Broward Sheriff’s deputies arrested Paul about an hour later. Further investigation revealed he was a convicted felon illegally in possession of a concealed weapon without a permit, records showed.

The 9mm handgun that was seized was reported stolen in Miami-Dade County, investigators learned.

Paul was convicted in 2018 of possessing a forgery device in New York state, according to the Saratoga County Sheriff’s Office.

In his latest arrest, Paul was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, grand theft of a firearm, and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.

He was released from the Broward County Jail Friday on bonds totaling $3,500, records show.
