Wintle, R-Garland, allegedly pulled a gun on a man in Waterville Saturday and faces charges of criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon and a misdemeanor charge of carrying a concealed weapon.

Colleagues said Saturday Wintle has behaved erratically in the Legislature recently and he was kicked out of the Augusta hotel he'd been staying at.

Athens Selectman Charles Rotondi and his wife, Athens Town Clerk Tracey Rotondi, said Saturday they remember Wintle telling voters during the annual town meeting in March that God had led him to run for public office.

"He made those kinds of references a couple of times," Charles Rotondi said. "I remember that kind of rhetoric, but not word for word; I do remember that he was saying God had brought him to office."
