A dispute about snow shoveling Saturday evening among three men at the Lightner Creek Mobile Home Park led to a warning shot being fired into the ground.<\/p>\n
La Plata County Sheriff\u2019s deputies are investigating to determine whether anyone would be cited, said Sgt. Wes Doughty on Sunday.<\/p>\n
One man fired a warning shot into the ground from a 9mm handgun, and two other men, one carrying a shovel and one carrying a flashlight, were the main parties involved in the dispute, which broke out between 5 and 6 p.m.<\/p>\n
The men were separated and detained for questioning, and Doughty said investigators would review their statements as well as body camera footage from deputies.<\/p>\n
The three men were the main \u201cinstigators\u201d Doughty said, but other people might have been involved in the fracas.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think one individual may have been actually shoveling snow onto another vehicle. I guess almost like in an antagonistic manner. And then a disturbance broke out in the middle of the park,\u201d Doughty said.<\/p>\n
Names of the men involved were not released pending further investigation.<\/p>\n
No one was arrested on scene, and Sheriff\u2019s Office investigators will determine Monday whether any of the men will be cited, Doughty said.<\/p>\n
