The Adair County Sheriff’s Office reports six arrests and two people were cited and released. Saturday night, 36-year old Tim Leeroy Wambold, Jr., of Fontanelle, was arrested for Reckless Use of a Firearm and Domestic Assault with a weapon/1st offense. Officials say a deputy was dispatched to a residence in Fontanelle at around 6:20-p.m., Saturday, after they received a report Wambold, Jr. had a firearm and allegedly threatened to use it. His cousin Travis told a Sheriff’s Deputy an argument took place between Tim Wambold and his grandparents. Afterward, when Tim allegedly threatened to shoot his cousin, Travis struck Tim with a six-foot level to try and make Tim drop the gun. That’s when the weapon discharged, firing a round into the ceiling. Travis struck Tim a couple of more times to get him to drop the gun. After his arrest, Tim Wambold, Jr., was released a few hours later, on his Own Recognizance.
