Investigators say Stephens then fired several shots into the air, aimed the gun at the vehicle's occupants once again, and discharged at least one more round.

No injuries were reported.

He was reportedly found in possession of several bullets belonging to a 9mm pistol and two 20-gauge shotgun shells.

Stephens was booked into the Chelan County Regional Justice Center on charges of Drive-by Shooting.
