Man denies shooting at delivery driver
Daily Inter Lake | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 8 years, 7 months AGO
A man denied in Flathead District Court on Thursday that he shot at a newspaper delivery driver at the end of May.
Michael John Ince, 33, pleaded not guilty to felony assault with a weapon.
Jasen Remus, then a newspaper driver for the Daily Inter Lake, called 911 at 4 a.m. on May 27 to report that Ince had fired a shot at him as he drove his delivery route on Anderson Lane and Conrad Drive.
Deputies found two men in the suspect vehicle and Ince allegedly admitted firing a shot.
Flathead County Sheriff Chuck Curry said Ince told investigators that he had fired a warning shot to get Ince to stop driving recklessly.
Ince and a woman previously were wanted in connection with a Sept. 30, 2015, road-rage shooting incident at Hutton Ranch Plaza off U.S. 93, but investigators at the Kalispell Police Department never charged anyone in that case because the victim stopped cooperating with investigators.
A jury trial for Ince was set for Sept. 2 at 9 a.m.
