FT. DEFIANCE, Ariz. (AP) — Navajo Nation police have arrested a man who they say fired shots in a northeastern Arizona housing complex.
Tribal spokesman Deswood Tome says no one was injured Friday. Police took extra precaution following a shootout last month that killed a tribal police officer and injured two others.
The man's identity wasn't released.
Tome says the man charges of illegal drug possession and illegally discharging a weapon. He says the man was caught with several rifles and drugs at a home in Ft. Defiance.
Officials had placed residents of about 100 homes on lockdown while police searched the area Friday afternoon for a reported gunman.
Tome says witnesses on scene reported hearing multiple shots fired.
Law enforcement from around the region assisted Navajo police.
