CHARLTON — An 18-year-old Charlton man has been arrested after police say he fired a crossbow into a car with teens inside.

Charlton Police Sgt. Daniel Dowd said Paul Edwards was arrested Friday following a two-hour search that involved police dogs from the Southbridge police and the Massachusetts State Police.

Police say the arrow went through the car window, but no one was seriously hurt. Broken glass cut a 16-year-old in the front seat.


Dowd said Edwards and the victims were acquainted.

Edwards’ father told WHDH-TV that said police told him it was a drug deal gone wrong.

Edwards was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. It was unclear if he had hired an attorney.
