Man Jailed After Firing Shots At Deputies

A man has been detained after shots were fired at Jefferson County deputies Saturday night.

Deputies were doing a welfare check on a veteran that allegedly had shot his dog. The man

shot at deputies, then got into his vehicle and drove into Hardin County where he crashed his

vehicle in Kountze. He fired more shots at officers and fled into a wooded area. The man, who

may be suffering from PTSD, was taken into custody early yesterday morning. There were no

injuries during the incident.
