MILLGROVE TOWNSHIP, IN (WTVB) – An Orland, Indiana man was arrested Saturday night after shots were fired during a reported physical altercation.
Steuben County Sheriff’s deputies responded at around 7:00 p.m. to the 6900 block of West County Road 490 North. They were directed to a man by witnesses who indicated he was involved in the altercation and was armed with a firearm.
Deputies immediately detained and disarmed the man identified as 53-year-old Mark Lindsay Handshoe.
The Sheriff’s Department says they determined that an ongoing neighborhood dispute led to threats of physical harm being made, at which time Handshoe allegedly obtained a firearm and discharged the firearm multiple times in the direction of other individuals involved. A firearm allegedly used in the altercation was recovered from the scene.
Handshoe was arrested on two counts of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon, two counts of pointing a loaded firearm and two counts of intimidation while armed with a deadly weapon.
Handshoe was booked into the Steuben County Jail and remains held without bond pending an initial court appearance.
Minor injuries were reported as a result of a physical altercation but no injuries were sustained due to the firearm being discharged. Individuals involved that complained of injuries refused medical attention.
