(La Porte County, IN) - La Porte County Police are investigating a FedEx driver having his vehicle struck with a paint ball.

 

The driver told police the first paint ball flew over his windshield, but the next one struck the side of his vehicle, splattering fluorescent or neon yellow paint just behind the driver’s side door.

 

Fortunately, he was not physically hit through his open driver’s side window.

 

Police said the incident reported Friday happened in the 6800 block of W. Bleck Road near Michigan City.

 

According to police, the suspect took good aim judging from the paintball gun resting on the ledge of his driver’s side window before he fired it.

 

The suspect was described only as white in a white SUV with dark windows.

 

Police said the Fed Ex driver gave chase for a short time but gave up in the area of U.S. 20 and Johnson Road due to the excessive speed of the suspect.
