     Bonneville County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a man yesterday afternoon after he was caught shooting at a vehicle.  Deputies were called to a residence in the 8000 S. block of 1st E. around 1:24pm yesterday after a resident reported someone had shot their vehicle.  The victim reported they heard several gun shots and saw a vehicle leaving the area toward Bingham County before discovering their vehicle had been damaged by the gunfire.  

     A short while later Bingham County Deputies located the suspect vehicle and detained 28 year old Alan Soto Palafox of Shelley who was a passenger.  Two handguns were found in the suspect vehicle and Palafox admitted to the shooting.  Through investigation Deputies believe an ongoing dispute between the parties lead to the shooting.
