ARGOS — On Feb. 21 at 4:32 p.m., Marshall County Central Dispatch advised of a reckless driver near the construction zone at 13th Rd. and U.S. 31.
The vehicles involved both continued south on U.S. 31 to the Argos area. The vehicle that was reported as originally driving recklessly was described as a black Ford F250 with cargo in a cardboard box in the bed of the truck. During the incident, the reporting party had apparently been following the black Ford for several miles in a white pickup truck. The black Ford involved later drove off of the roadway and into a corn
field near the area of 17th Rd. and Kenilworth Rd., south of Argos.
During the incident, the reporting party advised that the driver of the black Ford had displayed and shot a
firearm while standing in the field.
The black Ford pickup was not located by officers when they arrived in the area during the initial call. Officers later conducted a search of the corn field and performed subsequent interviews. No evidence was found that any firearms were involved in this incident. The investigation of the case is complete, and a report will be forwarded to the Marshall County Prosecutor’s Office for any potential criminal charges.
