BREAKING: Arrest made after shot fired Tuesday night

WASHINGTON — The Washington Police Department has made an arrest after investigating a shooting report on East Main Street Tuesday night with no injuries.

“Officers learned that during a disturbance a handgun was displayed and as the suspect left the residence, a shot was fired striking the home,” a news release from the department said Wednesday morning. “The suspect vehicle was later located at a property in rural Louisa County.”

The department said its SWAT team and officers from the Louisa County and Muscatine County Sheriffs’ Offices executed a search warrant early Wednesday morning, where they recovered a handgun and ammunition, and arrested Jeremy Dwayne Adams Martin (22) of Washington on charges of intimidation with a dangerous weapon.

The Class C felony is punishable by a prison term of up to 10 years and a fine ranging from $1,375 to $13,660, according to the police department.

The news release noted that the criminal charge was only an accusation, meaning the defendant is considered innocent until and unless proven guilty in court.
