McMinn County investigators are working to unravel a story after a UPS driver reported a crash and incident that led to one man being shot and another suffering a head injury.
Around 9 a.m. Monday, the driver told dispatchers he came upon a crash scene at County Road 100 and County Road 110 and saw four people — three men and one woman — arguing. One man claimed he’d been shot by one of the others, according to a news release from McMinn County Sheriff Joe Guy.
“The whole thing was related to the vehicle crash and may also involve drug issues because a large quantity of narcotics were also recovered at the scene,” Guy said in the release. “We are still investigating the incident and attempting to put the pieces together.”
Three of the people involved in the crash left in two vehicles and the fourth left by foot before authorities reached the scene, the release said.
