A 19-year-old southeast Iowa man is facing charges after allegedly firing a handgun during a late-night disturbance in Milton.
Kasey Noel McClure was arrested and charged with reckless use of a firearm, a simple misdemeanor, following an incident Thursday night that involved reckless driving, an argument, and gunfire on a residential street.
On February 5th, at approximately 11:30 p.m., a Van Buren County sheriff’s deputy responded to a report of a disturbance involving gunshots in the 200 block of Coal Street in Milton.
According to witnesses, two vehicles were observed driving recklessly through town. The erratic driving was followed by an argument between individuals, during which gunfire erupted.
Investigators determined that McClure discharged a handgun in a reckless manner during the confrontation. Witnesses reported that the defendant pointed the firearm upward and fired two rounds during an argument with another individual.
No injuries were reported as a result of the incident. There was also no damage to any property in the area.
McClure has a pre-trial conference meeting on February 19th.
