Responding officers spotted the van and conducted a traffic stop. New was driving and there was a passenger in the front seat, the complaint states.
New told police he heard his van get hit six to eight times, per the complaint, and admitted to firing his gun into the air “out of frustration.” He did not have a concealed carry permit. A single bullet casing was found at the scene.
The complaint states New told police he saw who he believed shot the BB gun run into a nearby building. Surveillance video showed a boy shooting a BB gun at the van Neuau was driving. The video then showed Neuau chase after the boy before pulling out a gun and firing a shot into the air, putting the gun back into his waistband and going back to the van.
Newly made an initial court appearance on July 29, and his cash bond was set at $1,500. He is not due back in court until October, records show.
