Lebanon man shot at moving car, police say
A Lebanon man was arrested Saturday after he allegedly fired multiple rounds of gunshots at a moving car on Route 202 early in the morning.
Police seized a firearm from 19-year-old Zachary Shaw and he has been taken to the York County Jail, according to a news release from Jeremy Forbes, chief deputy at the York County Sheriff’s Office.
York County police received a call from an individual about 2:00 a.m. reporting that a black sedan had pulled up next to his vehicle and fired at his car as he drove down the road in Lebanon. The caller was not hit by the shots, Forbes said in the release.
Officers who responded to the scene found that two rounds of gunshots had struck the car, one through the driver’s side door and the second into a tire, disabling the vehicle.
A Sanford police officer who had been notified of the vehicle’s description located it at a Sanford business about 4:40 a.m., leading Sanford police to find and arrest Shaw for reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon and criminal mischief. Officers found a firearm in the car.
Shaw’s bail is set at $25,000. He will appear in court Monday at the York Judicial Center in Biddeford.
The incident is under investigation and Shaw’s charges could be upgraded, Forbes said.
