A man was arrested after shooting his shotgun within four feet of where a Keokuk County Deputy was standing. The Keokuk County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call from 72-year-old Michael McClure of Richland, who stated there were several people in his yard, according to a criminal complaint filed with the Keokuk County Clerk of Court. When deputies arrived and knocked on the door, McClure shot his shotgun through the window, four feet from where Deputy Jeffrey Runnells was standing. Dispatch called McClure and told him to put down the gun and meet the deputy outside. McClure complied and according to the complaint, admitted to shooting through the window. He believed there were people in his yard that weren’t there.
