A Colorado energy company CEO chased down and pulled a gun on a Hispanic man telling him “I want to blow your f–ing head off” after he got lost while trying to find his friend’s wedding rehearsal, local station 9 News reports.
Paul Favret, CEO of Resource Energy, allegedly held Chris Ochoa, 26, and his girlfriend at gunpoint when the young couple took a wrong turn and ended up in the wealthy neighborhood of Elk Ridge Estates in Sedalia, Colorado.
Ochoa told police that he and his girlfriend had driven into Favret’s neighborhood on June 12 after their GPS directed them there when they were looking for a friend’s wedding venue in the area.
When they didn’t recognize the other cars on the drive and realized they must be in the wrong place, Ochoa said they did a u-turn and left the property.

Favret gave chase in a large red truck and blocked the couple off in the main road, he said. The energy boss then allegedly got out of his vehicle and pointed a firearm at them.
Ochoa said Favret then ran to his driver’s side window which was down and continued to point the gun at him, yelling he “wants to blow my head off!”
The terrified couple – with “our hands up” – repeatedly apologized and tried to explain it was an honest mistake, but the enraged man would not listen, he said.
Ochoa said his girlfriend managed to call 911 “because we felt in danger as he kept pointing the gun at our faces and continued to tell us how much he wanted to kill us.”
The incident only ended when the friend whose wedding he was attending arrived after they came looking for the couple to help them find their way to the venue.
Favret initially denied drawing his firearm to cops but then changed his story when he was shown photos of the incident, saying he could not remember pulling a gun on the couple because he was on pain medication.
