INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A man was arrested on Saturday for his accused role in a shots fired incident that involved three juveniles on the city’s northeast side, police said.
Jeffery Ware, 37, was arrested for criminal recklessness, dangerous control of a firearm, child endangerment, possession of marijuana, and possession of a firearm by a serious felon.
Just after 7 a.m. on Saturday, IMPD responded to the 2300 block of Hillside Avenue after reports of someone firing shots in an apartment complex.

After a search of the residence and Ware’s vehicle two handguns, multiple fire shell casings, and 80 grams of marijuana were found.
