Monday, YCSO arrested 24-year old Zane Winther of Skull Valley after reports indicated that he was shooting a gun while traveling along Highway-89 in Yarnell. Spokesman Dwight D’Evelyn says the report came from the suspect’s mother who stated that Winther, a passenger in her car, was intoxicated when he began waving the handgun. She claimed that he was threatening to shoot someone. Shortly after those threats were made, Winther fired a round through the windshield of her moving car. Winther left his mom’s car and she called 911 immediately. D’Evelyn says deputies learned Winther was now in a black SUV. Winther and the vehicle were located shortly after. Officials searched for his weapon but could not locate it. The following day, a neighbor came forward after finding it in a nearby field.
