According to court records, 47-year-old Jason Harold Ferguson, of Fort Dodge, was taken into custody on Thursday.

According to the criminal complaint filed in the case, at about 8 p.m. on July 30, Ferguson was driving a Honda Ridgeline pickup truck that was following a vehicle driven by Timothy James Ellis, of Fort Dodge, for at least five city blocks. When Ellis stopped to talk to an individual sitting in another vehicle in the 1400 block of First Avenue North, Ferguson drove the Honda past Ellis’ vehicle while Ferguson’s son, Austin Ferguson, shot at Ellis from the Honda’s passenger window.

Austin Ferguson, 29, of Fort Dodge, allegedly fired 11 shots at Ellis and 10 shell casings were recovered. According to the complaint, Ellis’ vehicle was hit six times, with one bullet lodged about a foot from where Ellis had been sitting in the vehicle.
