(Michigan City, IN) - It didn’t take police long to arrest a man suspected of firing numerous gunshots at a moving vehicle in Michigan City over the weekend.

 

Justin Hervey, 25, has been charged with criminal recklessness and unlawful carrying of a handgun.

 

According  to court documents, a man resembling Hervey was spotted firing a gun at a vehicle traveling late Saturday morning near the 300 block of North Calumet Avenue. Five shell casings were found on a sidewalk.

 

A witness saw the gunman with a stocky build and dreadlocks run inside a residence in the 100 block of Ridgeland Avenue. Hervey was taken into custody after a perimeter was formed around the dwelling, later telling investigators he fired at the vehicle believing the driver was involved in him being shot in the past.

 

Authorities note that it appears nobody was struck by the weekend gunfire.
