A man was charged with a plethora of felonies after he allegedly rammed his Chrysler truck several times into a Ford Focus while he was drunk.
Jeremy Shacklett was charged with four counts of second-degree assault, nine counts of armed criminal action, one count of first-degree tampering with a vehicle, two counts of first-degree endangering the welfare of a child, one count of leaving the scene of an accident, a count of first-degree property damage and driving while revoked. He was also charged with driving while intoxicated and reckless driving, both misdemeanors.
Court filings show he is being held on a $100,000 bond. An arraignment was held on Monday and a bond reduction was denied. His next hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 24. A mugshot was not immediately available.
According to the probable cause statement, a woman called law enforcement at 1:24 p.m. Friday claiming that a Chrysler truck was following her vehicle and kept hitting it. The Chrysler eventually forced the Ford off the road after hitting it several times, the statement says. The Ford contained the woman, a man who was driving and two children.
Deputies found the Chrsyler on Lake Road near Route B and noticed Shacklett appeared to be drunk. A breath test was taken and his blood alcohol level was .115, the statement says.
Shackle allegedly admitted to following the Ford and hitting it every time the driver of the Ford slowed down or used his brakes, the statement says.
