Small motor home driven through garage door; Tamworth man facing several charges

A local man is facing a slew of charges, including operating under the influence and illegal possession of firearms, following a bizarre incident that began when he reportedly drove a small motor home through a garage door.
Joseph M. Roux, 47, of 1287 Bearcamp Highway in Tamworth, was arraigned Tuesday afternoon in Southern Carroll District Court on a charge of driving while intoxicated, two counts of felony reckless conduct — simple assault on a police officer, two counts of resisting arrest, six counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm — being an armed career criminal, and two counts of possession of a controlled drug.
Roux is being held at the Carroll County jail on $150,000 cash bail pending a probable cause hearing on Jan. 28.
State Police Lt. Scott Carr, commander of the State Police Troop E barracks in Tamworth, said State Police received a call at 8:01 a.m. Saturday about a motor vehicle accident on Bearcamp Highway (Route 25). As troopers responded to the scene, another call was received saying there had been shots in the area.
Upon arriving, Carr said troopers found Roux on the opposite side of the road from his residence where the motor home he was operating had gotten stuck in snow. Carr said Roux apparently drove the camper through the closed door of the garage and then proceeded across Route 25 onto a neighbor's property, where he was eventually taken into custody.
State Police later obtained search warrants for additional vehicles as well as a building at Roux's residence and subsequently located several firearms, including a 9-mm. pistol, several hundred rounds of ammunition and a quantity of controlled drugs, including marijuana.
Carr said Roux has prior drug-related felony convictions and as a consequence was barred by state law from possessing a firearm.
Carr called the incident "unusual."
"It's kind of a bizarre event. At this point we're continuing to investigate," he said.
State Police were assisted by the Sandwich Police Department, Carroll County Sheriff's Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
