LECENTER, Minnesota - Gregory Peter Carr was a little angry about some heavy traffic near his south-central Minnesota home last weekend. Carr allegedly took matters into his own hands.
Carr, 42, of New Prague, Minnesota reportedly took pot shots at numerous vehicles passing along County Roads 29 and 164 Saturday morning. No one was injured, but several cars were hit by the six rounds fired, according to the sheriff.
Authorities were notified about 11 a.m.
The LeSueur County Sheriff's officers eventually found Carr in a nearby soybean field. He was being held at a jail in LeCenter, Minn., where he will remain until his first court appearance scheduled for today.
Carr, armed with a 12-gauge shotgun and approximately 15 rounds of ammunition, surrendered without incident, authorities stated.
Carr was apparently upset with the amount of traffic in the area of his residence, including County Roads 29 (also known as 15th Street, where the suspect's home is located). He reportedly told authorities he wanted the vehicles to slow down and take alternate routes. (Zone81.com)
