Man Shoots At Van...Causes Crash
KENTUCKY...
Police have arrested a man who shot several times at a passing van in southern Whitley County, causing it to crash.
Jason Lawson is charged with wanton endangerment, but police are hoping to get a grand jury indictment for attempted murder.
Shelton Coffman, the driver of the van, and his passenger, Glennis Anderson, say Lawson came out of the weeds with a shotgun and opened fire. Coffman and Anderson suffered non-life threatening injuries.
Lawson surrendered to police about two hours later.
The victims knew Lawson and said there's been bad blood between them ever since a fight.
Police say Lawson has been a regular at the Whitley County Jail, having been charged with attempted murder, wanton endangerment and arson in the past.
