Jogger Reportedly Struck by Blow Dart

At roughly 7:42 p.m. on April 30, Officer Shannon Drumm was flagged down by a jogger in the area of Central Ave. and Forest St. The jogger, reported Officer Drumm, appeared to be in a great deal of pain.

The man was holding his right forearm area and stated that he had been hit by something. He later clarified that the object had been a blow dart and that it likely came from a silver pickup truck that had passed him.

Right before he was reportedly shot, the jogger observed high school aged kids in a passing truck. He continued to run a few more steps until the pain increased and he realized that a blow dart was protruding from his arm. He quickly removed the foreign object.

Officer Schlittler was dispatched to the area to look for the truck. In the meantime, the jogger offered police a voluntary statement.
