Utica Man Arrested For Firing Shots In The Streets Of Yorkville
A Utica man has been arrested after allegedly firing several shots in the streets Yorkville.
Police say they were called to the area of Highland Ave. after several calls came in reporting shots fired.
Witness accounts claim the man fired several rounds towards Tabor Place and then fled on foot. A description of the suspect was given to authorities and Utica Police later located the man and took him into custody on Oriskany Boulevard.

As Scutchins approached the vehicle, the driver exited the driveway and drove down Tabor. That's when police say Scutchins began firing several rounds at the fleeing vehicle, striking it once.
Scutchins was charged with two counts of Reckless Endangerment and Criminal Possession of a Loaded Firearm. Other charges are anticipated.
