INA — The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a trespassing incident, with shots fired, that occurred at around 9:44 p.m. on Jan. 12 in the 15100 block of East Tilton Road in Ina.
According to JCSO incident logs, a male suspect tried to break into someone’s house at that location. The suspect, who was possibly armed with a machete, then fled from the house and one of the residents fired three shots at the fleeing individual.
