When an officer arrived at the scene, he observed a man later identified as Smith standing near the passenger side of his green Dodge Ram pickup truck, which was parked inside a wash bay with “several bullet holes in it.” Upon first contact with the officer, Smith vol*untarily handed over his belt and holster that contained his Glock 40-caliber handgun, according to the report.
During an interview with Yorktown officers, Smith said he had been drink*ing and was “upset about the direction his life was going” and was “taking it out” on his own vehicle by shooting it 10 to 15 times. A portable breath test mea*sured Smith’s blood-alcohol content at 0.16 percent — twice the legal limit for motorists in Indiana.
The report indicated bullets fired by the reserve deputy’s gun also hit the car wash building, a nearby storage structure and a sport-utility vehicle parked across the street.
Delaware County Sheriff Mike Scroggins said his office will be conducting its own “in-depth internal investigation” into Smith’s actions. He has been placed on administrative leave as a reserve deputy and has since turned in his county- issued ID and keys, according to the sheriff.
