Gunshots Inside Home Result in Charges

(La Porte, IN) - A man is facing potential time in prison for allegedly firing gunshots inside a residence in La Porte.

 

Danny Roldan, 50, is charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Level 5 felony criminal recklessness.

 

According to court documents, the investigation indicates Roldan was upset about a political ad on TV and fired multiple shots from inside the home in the 2900 block of Oakdale Ave.

 

Multiple rounds penetrated an interior wall and flew into a room occupied by a family member.

 

Responding officers formed a perimeter around the home while trying to speak with Roldan, who emerged several times from the front door before going back inside each time.

 

At one point, Roldan was outside sitting on a porch when rushed by officers, who took him into custody.

 

Rolden was still being held in the La Porte County Jail on $15,000 bond.  He could face anywhere from a one to six year sentence.
