A Washington man was arrested following a shooting incident Tuesday night.

Washington Police Chief Jim Lester states shortly after 10 p.m. the department responded to a report of a disturbance that resulted in a shooting at 1021 East Main Street. Officers learned that during a disturbance a handgun was displayed and as the suspect left the residence a shot was fired, striking the home. No injuries were reported. The suspect vehicle was later located at a property in rural Louisa County. The Washington Police Department SWAT Team along with the Louisa and Muscatine county sheriff’s offices executed a search warrant early Wednesday morning and the suspect was taken into custody without incident. Officers recovered a handgun and ammunition during the search. Twenty-two year-old Jeremy Dwayne Adams Martin was arrested and charged with intimidation with a dangerous weapon, a class C felony. If convicted, Martin could face a prison term of up to 10 years and a fine of at least $1,375 but not more than $13,660. The Washington County Sheriff’s Office, Washington County Attorney’s Office, and Washington County 911 Communications also assisted. KCII will bring you more information as it becomes official.
