A Marshall man who has been charged with a felony for allegedly firing a weapon out of a vehicle on April 28 in Saline County has a court proceeding set for this week.

According to a probable-cause statement, a Saline County deputy was dispatched to a residence on Magnolia Avenue in reference to threats. As the deputy who responded to the scene placed his vehicle in park, he said he observed Aaron Michael Gieringer stick the barrel of a shotgun out of the driver’s window and fire one shot into the air in the southwest direction, where a residence is located approximately less than one mile away. The deputy ordered Gieringer to exit the vehicle five times, and he did not comply. A short time later, Gieringer complied and exited the vehicle.

Upon conducting an inventory search of the vehicle, the deputy says he located a shotgun, an assault rifle and two fired 12-gauge cartridges.

Court documents say Gieringer is charged with a felony for unlawful use of a weapon. Gieringer posted $15,000 surety bond on April 29.

Gieringer’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, August 25, at Saline County Circuit Court.
