Police: 18-year-old man arrested after firing off shots along I-71 in Silverton<\/p>\n

\"KurtSILVERTON, Ohio \u2014<\/p>\n

The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office says that a teenager has been arrested after he is alleged to have fired off multiple shots from a rifle on Interstate 71 on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

According to police, Aaron Phelan, 18, is alleged to have fired off the rounds near the 9.4 mile marker of I-71 North in Silverton.<\/p>\n

Officers responded to the scene at approximately 5 a.m., where Phelan was eventually arrested at the scene.<\/p>\n

Phelan is being charged with aggravated menacing and discharging a firearm on prohibited premises.<\/p>\n

Police say that Phelan had been seen by 911 callers with a rifle in hand while standing near a vehicle that was parked along the interstate just moments before.<\/p>\n

Multiple shell casings were recovered at the scene by officers.<\/p>\n

Police say that they do not believe that Phelan was targeting vehicles or individuals during the shooting and currently believe no one to have been hurt as a result of the gunfire.<\/p>\n

Officers say they are investigating to see if Phelan may have been under the influence of either drugs or alcohol during the shooting.<\/p>\n

Phelan is expected to be arraigned in court at 9 a.m. on Monday. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police: 18-year-old man arrested after firing off shots along I-71 in Silverton SILVERTON, Ohio \u2014 The Hamilton County…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":785862,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[10060,4,450,291374,295996,451,3,328090,25283,291372,328089,328105,452,453,291375,40906],"class_list":["post-785861","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-autos","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-demand-menu-subscribe","tag-email-weather-search","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-nowcast-wlwt-news","tag-page","tag-privacy-notice-term","tag-talk-cincy","tag-today-watch","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories","tag-use-nextfre","tag-wlwt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785861","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=785861"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785861\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/785862"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=785861"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=785861"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=785861"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
