A man accused of firing a gun at Ashton Pines in Goshen is in jail this morning.
According to Goshen police, Joshua Platz, 21, 2655 Ashton Pines, Apt. 12P, was arrested at his apartment after he allegedly fired a gun in the 2600 block of Ashton Pines Drive at about 10:40 p.m.
On Wednesday, Goshen officers were investigating a possible intoxicated driver at Ashton Pines apartment complex, located behind Meijer on the west side of the city.
