24C12855 - Driver Arrested For Pointing Gun At Another Driver

Sheriff Mike Morrison reports, on 12/4/2024 at approximately 12:47 pm Washington State Patrol received a report of a male driving a gold Jeep that pulled a gun on another driver.  Chelan County Sheriff’s Office Deputies, WSP, and a Washington Fish and Wildlife officer responded to the area.  Upon further investigation, the reporting party said the driver of the Jeep (later identified as Daniel Stephens of East Wenatchee) had pulled up beside his vehicle while they were traveling eastbound on Highway 2.  As he pulled up next to the victim, he pointed a handgun at the victim and his passenger.  After completing the pass, Stephens pulled in front of the suspect, fired several shots into the air, pointed the gun at the victim, and fires one or two more rounds.

Deputies later located Stephens driving toward Leavenworth on Chumstick Highway at approximately 3:30 pm.  Deputies conducted a traffic stop on him and took him into custody without incident.  Deputies recovered four 9mm unfired bullets in Stephens’ pant pocket in addition to two 20 gage shotgun shells.

Stephens’ vehicle was seized for evidence while detectives obtained a search warrant.  Stephens was booked into the Chelan County Regional Justice Center on a charge of Drive-by Shooting.
