The Marshall County Central Dispatch Center was advised of reckless driver near the construction zone at 13th Road on U.S. 31 on Friday, February 21st at about 4:30 in the afternoon. The vehicles involved both continued south on U.S. 31 to the Argos area.
The vehicle reported as originally driving recklessly was described as a black Ford F250 with cargo in a cardboard box in the bed of the truck. During the incident, the reporting party had apparently been following the black Ford for several miles in a white pickup truck. The black Ford involved later drove off the roadway and into a corn field near the area of 17th and Kenilworth Roads, south of Argos.
During the incident, the reporting party advised that the driver of the black Ford had displayed and shot a firearm while standing in the field. The black Ford pickup was not located by officers when they arrived in the area during the initial call. Officers conducted a search of the corn field and performed subsequent interviews, including a resident who was home at the time of the incident, no evidence was found that any firearms were involved in this incident.
The investigation of the case is complete, and a report will be forwarded to the Marshall County Prosecutor’s Office for any potential criminal charges.
