A man wanted in connection with a reported shooting in Nesquehoning has been taken into custody.

Nesquehoning police Chief Brad Hess announced that Adrian Thompson was arrested just before noon Friday.

Thompson was wanted for the shooting incident at a residence in the 100 block of West Railroad Street Thursday evening.

Officers responded to the residence for a report of shots fired.

On scene, officers made contact with the victim, who reported that a man, identified as Thompson, had arrived at his residence in a black SUV, exited the vehicle, and engaged him in a verbal altercation.

During the confrontation, the individual allegedly fired one round in the victim’s direction before fleeing the scene in the vehicle.

During the initial investigation, officers located evidence of a fired round that traveled through the front porch railing, struck a chair, and ultimately entered the exterior siding of the residence.

Surveillance footage from the incident was obtained from neighboring residents. The footage, along with physical evidence recovered at the scene, was collected as part of the ongoing investigation.

Additional law enforcement resources assisted in the search for the suspect; however, he was not located at that time.

The Nesquehoning Borough Police Department is asking anyone with information regarding the incident to contact the department at 570-669-9111.
