PREVIOUS STORY: The Johnson County Sheriff's Office arrested eight people on Thursday and Friday for their involvement in an attempt to assault a juvenile that led to gunshots fired in Tiffin late last year.

The sheriff’s office responded to multiple gunshots fired in the area of Highway 6 and the Park Road roundabout in Tiffin at about 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 24, 2022, according to a news release.

An unnamed 17-year-old male was charged with attempted murder and participating in a riot connected to the Oct. 24 incident.

Glenda Reighard, 22, of Tiffin, was charged with participating in a riot, using false information in acquiring a weapon, and a serious misdemeanor for transfer of a pistol or revolver to a person under 21. Criminal complaints show Reighard acquired the gun on Oct. 2.

The following five individuals were all charged with participating in a riot:

  • Ja’Myrion White, 20, Coralville

  • Michael Rensing, 19, North Liberty

  • Aydin Kutcher, 18, Coralville

  • David Love Jr., 19, Coralville

  • Isaiah Scott, 19, Coralville

According to the news release, further investigation revealed multiple suspects had “planned to meet and travel to a residence in Coralville to commit an assault.”

Criminal complaints revealed the suspects traveled with the purpose of assaulting a juvenile and several others associated with that juvenile.

When the individuals left a residence, the suspects followed them to the Highway 6 and Park Road roundabout area in Tiffin. The suspects shots the victim’s vehicle at least six times, criminal complaints reveal, though no one was hit by gunfire.

At a later point, the suspects were in the yard of one of the victims and the majority of the them wore ski masks, according to criminal complaints.

The sheriff's office plans to arrest additional suspects.
