A man has been arrested after firing shots into a crowd early Sunday morning. Just before 2:00am on July 23rd, gunshots were fired at Doc’s Tavern, 1622 Aetna. Officers arrived on scene and were told by tavern patrons that Tyler Underwood had been at the tavern and fired shots into the crowd upon leaving. Officers were told Underwood then left the area on foot.
Officers located Underwood a few blocks away from the tavern. He was not in possession of a gun and was arrested for public intoxication.
Officers were then alerted that a male arrived at the hospital in Fort Madison with a gunshot wound to his shin, saying it happened at Doc’s.
Underwood, 33, was then additionally charged with willful injury, possession of a firearm by a felon, aggravated assault, reckless use of a firearm, and intimidation with a firearm.
