I’m not sure I have much to add to this story…

But, first… Paul Sorvino is a deputy sheriff? Who knew?

“Goodfellas” actor Paul Sorvino pulled a gun on his daughter’s ex-boyfriend after the man pounded on her hotel door and made threats, the daughter testified Tuesday.
“He got in my father’s face and said, ’Go ahead, Paul, shoot, I ain’t done nothing wrong,’” Amanda Sorvino, 36, told a Monroe County judge. The judge granted her request for a protection-from-abuse order against Daniel Snee, 21.
Amanda Sorvino testified Snee threatened to kill her at a hotel Jan. 3 in Stowe, Vt.; she said she locked herself in the bathroom and called both police and her father. Her 67-year-old father showed up before police, she testified. When police arrived, the young man was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, she said.
Sorvino said that she met Snee when he was hired to care for her horses and that they began dating, but that the relationship soured. She said he then began threatening her, and her father “if he ever got in the way.”

STOWE — “Goodfellas” actor Paul Sorvino, who pulled a gun on his daughter’s ex-boyfriend in a confrontation, was allowed to carry it and never pointed it at the man, according to Police Chief Ken Kaplan.

Sorvino, 67, was ready to fire a warning shot during the Jan. 3 incident involving daughter Amanda Sorvino and ex-boyfriend Daniel Snee, 21, who was threatening her and trying to get into her Stowe Motel room.

Sorvino, a deputy sheriff in Pennsylvania, is entitled to carry a weapon from state to state, Kaplan said.

“He expressly stated there was no way through his training that he aimed the gun at this person, he didn’t even threaten him,” Kaplan said of Sorvino. “He just said, ’I have a gun, I want you to stay away from my daughter, back off’, because the guy was out of control, and he was.”
