On the morning of January 15th @ 1:59 a.m., an officer with the Morgan City Police Department observed a vehicle traveling in the area LA 182 in a reckless manner. A stop was initiated on the vehicle. Jacob Turner, 33, of Napoleonville, was identified as the operator of the vehicle.

As the officer initiated a stop, officers with the Morgan City Police Department responded to a local business in the area of LA 182 in regard to shots being fired. Officers arrived and determined that the subject that the officer had stopped fit the description given as the subject who allegedly fired the weapon. Investigators with the Morgan City Police Department Detectives Division responded.

According to reports, Turner allegedly was involved in an altercation with another subject in the local establishment. The argument led to outside where the two individuals were involved in a fistic encounter. When one of the subjects entered back into the business, Turner brandished a firearm and discharged it into the front door of the business that was occupied by several other patrons. Turner then fled the area but was stopped by an officer as reports of the gun fire were made.
