EASTON, Md. - Police have arrested a man after he allegedly fired multiple rounds into a car while a child was standing between him and the vehicle. 

The Easton Police Department says the incident occurred near Lynbrook Court in Easton on July 16th. Tehron Duran West, 38, was arguing with another person when the conflict escalated, according to police. West reportedly entered one of the victims’ cars and then fired upon another car a victim was in. 

Police say a juvenile was standing between the vehicles as West opened fire.

West allegedly then fled in the car that he does not own, and area law enforcement was notified of the incident. Virginia State Police later stopped and arrested West.
