Screen Shot 2016-01-11 at 10.58.56 AMRILEY COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities in Riley County are investigating a suspect involved with a weekend incident involving a rifle.

Just after 7:40 a.m. on Saturday, police in Riley County responded to the 1800 block of Priboth Road south of Manhattan where a rifle was fired at an occupied vehicle, according to a police media release.

There were no injuries.

Officers found that a 29-year-old woman was in a verbal altercation with Arthur Corgill III, 23, Manhattan, when the situation escalated.

Corgill was then said to have fired a rifle round at a vehicle that was occupied by the woman as well as a 32-year-old man.

Officers made contact with Corgill and subsequently took him into custody at approximately 11:30 a.m. after the investigation led to probable cause.

Police officials confirm that the public was not in immediate danger as a result of this incident as it appeared to be isolated.

The victims and suspect were known to each other and due to a domestic relationship, victim information has been withheld.

Corgill was arrested for the aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, criminal discharge of a firearm, and criminal damage to property. He is confined on a bond of $16,000.00.
