A Griffith man has been arrested in connection with an October 6 interstate shooting that injured two people.
Nathaniel C. Malone, 23, of Griffith, was charged with two counts of attempted murder, a Level 1 felony.
According to an Indiana State Police news release, troopers responded at around 8 p.m. to a shooting just north of 61st Avenue in the southbound lanes of Interstate 65, the Post-Tribune previously reported. Early Friday morning, the Northwest Regional SWAT Team assisted ISP detectives in serving a search warrant at a residence in Griffith, ISP Lowell District spokesman Sgt. Glen Fifield said in the release.
Malone, 23, wasn’t home at the time of the search, but he eventually returned and was taken into custody first by Griffith Police, then by ISP detectives who formally arrested him, Fifield said.
During the search, investigators seized a stolen firearm as well as drugs, police said.
Malone is being held at the Lake County Jail on $100,000 bail, or $10,000 surety.
