(Corning, Iowa) – Sheriff’s Officials in Adams County report the arrest on four felony charges, of a man from Corning. 38-year-old Cole Justin Inman faces charges that include 3 Class-B Felony counts of Attempted Murder, and a Class-C Felony charge of Assault with a Dangerous Weapon. Inman was also charged with 3 counts of Child Endangerment, and one count of Reckless Use of a Firearm, the latter two of which are aggravated misdemeanors.
Authorities say Inman allegedly fired a pistol at three teenagers. A criminal complaint said Inman was chasing after the teens in his white Chevrolet Traverse because he thought the teens’ tan Chevrolet truck was on his property the night before. After both vehicles stopped at the intersection of Highway 148 and 130th Street, deputies said Inman grabbed a .45 Ruger semi-automatic pistol from his car. The complaint said Inman shot the gun multiple times at the truck, leaving bullet holes in the rear bumper and tailgate.
According to deputies, Inman’s wife and his four children were also in his truck at the time of the incident.
Cole Inman was booked into the Adams County Jail, where he was being held without bond.
