(Courtesy San Miguel Sheriff's Office)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>A man was arrested Aug. 2 in Egnar after allegedly shooting one round toward a truck whose driver was checking on livestock, according to the San Miguel Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n<p>A 17-year old male reported he was driving his pickup to check on his 4-H steer in a pasture on Colorado Highway 141 when a man at a nearby residence gestured at him with his middle finger and appeared to be holding a rock, according to an incident report.<\/p>\n<p>The teenager picked up a male adult friend and decided to try and speak to the man to find out what was wrong, at which point the man went to his residence, returned with a firearm and allegedly shot one time toward them.<\/p>\n<p>The two friends drove away uninjured, and the driver called police. The firearm was described as either a muzzle loader or shotgun, the incident report stated.<\/p>\n<p>Deputies responded, and after an investigation arrested Bernard Henry Pospeck, 63, on suspected charges of criminal attempted first-degree assault, felony menacing, reckless endangerment and violation of protection order that prohibited him from possessing a firearm, according to the incident report.<\/p>\n<p>The teenager driver of the truck reported he spoke to the suspect about purchasing a camper in the past, and said they were on good terms about it.<\/p>\n<p>The investigation and arrest of Pospeck involved deputies from San Miguel and Dolores county sheriff\u2019s offices, along with the Colorado State Patrol. A newly acquired helicopter from the San Miguel Sheriff\u2019s Office also responded.<\/p>\n<p>During the arrest at gunpoint, deputies reported Pospeck did not comply with repeated orders to show his hands and get on the ground, according to the incident report.<\/p>\n<p>A deputy fired a round from a stun gun that struck Pospeck. He fell to the ground and was taken into custody without incident.<\/p>\n<p>A warrant was obtained and executed by the San Miguel Sheriff\u2019s Office on the residence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>arrested for allegedly firing toward truck driven by a person checking livestock <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38865,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[168,28,29,1561],"naviga_topic":[],"class_list":["post-38864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-crime","tag-headlines","tag-newsletter","tag-san-miguel-county"],"acf":[],"author_name":"dh_admin","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38864","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38864"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38864\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84152,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38864\/revisions\/84152"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38864"},{"taxonomy":"naviga_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dh.durangoherald.com\/tj\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/naviga_topic?post=38864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
