A man was arrested early Saturday morning after allegedly firing shots at an occupied vehicle in Fishers.

According to the Fishers Police Department, officers responded to reports of gunfire near the 11600 block of Exit 5 Parkway just before 3:40 a.m. on February 1, 2025. The victim, an employee of a local bar, told dispatchers that a white Ford F-150, driven by the suspect, was still heading eastbound on 116th Street. Officers quickly located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop, taking the driver, Ronald Leach, 40, of Brazil, Indiana, into custody without incident.

Police say their investigation revealed the shooting followed an earlier altercation at a local bar. Leach had been asked to leave the establishment and later returned, arguing with an employee over the whereabouts of his driver’s license. After the employee left work, he spotted Leach’s vehicle at a stoplight. As the victim drove in the opposite direction, gunfire erupted near the intersection of 116th Street and Exit 5 Parkway. The victim was unharmed, but his vehicle sustained damage to the rear driver’s side from the gunfire.

Authorities say Leach displayed signs of intoxication at the time of his arrest. A handgun was allegedly found in plain view inside his vehicle and collected as evidence.

Leach was transported to the Hamilton County Jail and faces multiple charges, including:

• Criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon (Level 6 felony)
• Pointing a firearm at another person (Level 6 felony)
• Operating a vehicle while intoxicated with prior convictions (Level 6 felony)

The Fishers Police Department continues to investigate the incident. Authorities urge anyone with additional information to contact law enforcement.
