One person was arrested over the Labor Day weekend, and charges filed against another man following a shots fired incident in Neola. The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office says a Deputy was dispatched to the area of 4th and 2nd Streets in Neola at around 2:15-a.m., Sunday. The Deputy met with neighbors, who said 54-year old Scott Ivan Boyer, of Neola, had fired two or three shotgun rounds in the direction of his son, 23-year old Darrell Jerome Boyer, also of Neola. The incident occurred near other residences.

Deputies tried to make contact with Scott Boyer, but he refused to come to the door, and shut the blinds in the home. Darrell Boyer advised his neighbors that his dad struck him in the head with a propane tank, causing him to bleed profusely. Deputies made contact with Darrell Boyer at Jenny Edmundson Hospital, where he was being treated prior to Council Bluffs Police arresting him on an unrelated warrant. Scott Boyer faces charges that include Reckless Use of a Firearm without Injury, and Domestic Assault with Intent or Weapon.

In a related incident, a Deputy was investigating the shots fired call in Neola, when a Cadillac was seen driving away from the area the shots came from. As the Deputy and his backup  approached, the driver, identified by witnesses as 23-year old Darrell Jerome Boyer, of Neola, reversed the car at a high rate of speed.

The witnesses ran out of their house in the 100 block of Mendel Street, and told Deputies Boyer had just stolen their vehicle. They also mentioned he had no right or privilege to drive their vehicle. A records check indicated Boyer has multiple warrants for his arrest, and he was barred from driving through the State of Iowa. The car was found abandoned Sunday afternoon. Boyer was taken into custody at around 12:30-a.m. Monday, on charges of Theft in the 2nd Degree and Driving While Barred.
