Earlier on Tuesday, Nevada State Police troopers began pursuing a white van with unmatched Utah plates, both of which were discovered to be stolen.

“The suspect abandoned the van near River Ranch and stole a gray ATV (4 wheeler) in that area and burglarized a couple of residences in that area,” the sheriff’s office claimed.

The suspect fled the scene on an ATV, heading west. He is suspected to have fired a weapon at a parked, abandoned vehicle near the 317 mile marker on Interstate 80 before fleeing south.
