    Press Release From NYS DEC:

    Don’t Shoot and Drive – Lewis County

    On Feb. 22, Environmental Conversations Officers Tim Worden and Zach Brown
    assisted the Lewis County Sheriff’s Department with a complaint about two
    young men shooting at road signs. The night before, a local resident managed to
    get a license plate number from a vehicle after hearing gunshots in front of his
    house. Lewis County Deputies tracked down the men and both admitted that
    they had been driving around and shooting road signs from their vehicle. ECOs
    Worden and Brown searched the area and found a shell casing from a .22
    caliber rifle just 54 feet from a dwelling. Both men were charged with 11
    misdemeanors, including shooting from a roadway, possessing a loaded firearm
    in a motor vehicle, and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling. The
    charges are returnable to the Town of New Bremen and Town of Watson courts.
    The Lewis County District Attorney’s Office is pursuing additional charges
    against the men.
