AUBURN, Ala. (WRBL) – Auburn Police have arrested a Wetumpka man in connection with gunfire that rang out in downtown Auburn early Saturday morning.

Police say 19-year-old Le’Gregory Ty’reil Blanks is charged with four counts of discharging a firearm into an unoccupied vehicle and reckless endangerment.

Detectives identified Blanks as a suspect and, with the assistance of the Elmore County Sheriff’s Office, located him in Wetumpka. He was arrested and transported to the Lee County Jail, where he is being held on a $21,000 bond.

The case remains under investigation.
