‘Bullets flying’: Man charged for threatening North Side church

A 35-year-old man was arrested after allegedly threatening parishioners at a far North Side church.

Mark Stephen Chouinard was charged with making terroristic threats, according to an arrest affidavit.

In early November, Chouinard met a woman at a service at Healing Place Church. He then contacted the victim several times on Facebook before she asked him to stop.

Chouinard sent her a message saying he would “kick down her church doors” with “bullets flying.” He also alluded to “penetrating flesh,” the affidavit said. He told the victim that when she “was on the ground, she would question where her God is at,” the document continued.

The victim contacted the church pastor, who feared Chouinard would follow through with the threats.

Chouinard was arrested Friday and is being held on a $100,000 bond.
