A Mexico man was arrested Tuesday afternoon for his alleged involvement in a shooting.
Darius R. Hoffman, 38, of Mexico, was arrested on charges of unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action, unlawful possession of a firearm and second-degree property damage, according to a news release issued by the Mexico Public Safety Department.
Officials say there were no injuries from the incident.
On Tuesday, at approximately 5:36 a.m., MPSD responded to reports of gunshots in the 900 block of Harwood. According to the release, the subsequent investigation indicated that Hoffman, who was driving a 2019 Dodge Challenger, was following another vehicle because he was upset with the driver. When the other vehicle stopped on Breckenridge Street, Hoffman pulled up next to the vehicle and fired at it several times.
Officers found Hoffman in the 800 block of Yale at approximately 2:02 p.m. Hoffman was arrested, processed at MPSD, and transported to the Audrain County Jail.
