At 10:21 p.m. on Saturday, June 28, Winslow Police officers were dispatched to the 200 block of Jefferson Street to investigate a report of shots fired from a vehicle. While officers were investigating this incident, a second caller reported shots had been fired near Second Street and Williamson Avenue. No injuries were reported in either incident.
On June 30, a 17-year-old boy was arrested for drive-by shooting, endangerment, disorderly conduct with a weapon, underage possession of a firearm, unlawful discharge of a firearm and discharging a firearm at an occupied structure. The boy was booked into the Navajo County Juvenile Detention Center.
On July 1, officers located a blue 2019 Ford truck associated with the shootings. There were three occupants and one, Nathaniel Spendlove, 19, was arrested for drive-by shooting. He was booked into the Navajo County Jail. The truck was impounded and it was determined that the other occupants in the vehicle were not involved in the reported incidents.
These incidents followed another shooting incident on June 28, where a 13-year-old boy discharged a firearm six times near the Winslow pool while residents were using the pool and youth sports were being played at a nearby field. No one was injured in that incident.
If anybody has any information regarding these cases or any similar weapons-related activity, please contact Detective Sergeant Thermen, Detective Payne or the on-duty shift sergeant at 928-289-1433.
