Theannouncement of the arrest was shared on the official Tuscan Police Department page on Facebook.
Speaking with Aftermath, police Sergeant Christopher Peterson gave additional details about the investigation, and the arrest days later. “Officers got there. They responded to a report of a drive-by shooting there. Located multiple shell casings. Nobody was hurt. Processed the crime scene, and then sometime Friday morning, a little before 11am, they took a suspect into custody. And the investigation is still kind of ongoing as to where and why.”

Since then, they have been working on the upcoming Xbox exclusive Clockwork Revolution, an action first-person role playing game for Xbox Series X/S and PC.
