A man wanted in connection to a shooting in Garnett, Chris Vandenberg of Paola, was arrested without incident by Garnett Police and U. S. Marshals recently, at a Gardner residence. Police say Chris Vandenberg was involved in a ‘rolling gun battle’ shooting at several cars, as well as a house occupied by four people, including two children, in the 700 block of 8th Avenue in Garnett. Vandenberg taunted police with a reply to their Facebook Post on attempts to locate him. Anderson County Attorney, Elizabeth Oliver, charged Vandenberg with three counts of aggravated assault, criminal discharge of a firearm and being a felon in possession of a firearm as well as numerous other fleeing and eluding and criminal threat charges.
Garnett Police Chief, Kurt King, says officers determined an address for Vandenberg through the course of their investigation and he was taken into custody without incident.
Vandenberg was identified after interviews with witnesses to the incident, which was called in sometime after midnight, Friday, April 1st.
