FAYETTE COUNTY – A man allegedly hoped he would be deleted by cops that he held off by firing his gun after driving dangerously on a Northern Iowa roadway, but instead is in jail facing serious charges.

On June 4, 2023, Fayette County Communications received a report of a motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Palace Rd and Hwy 3. It was reported that a silver pickup struck fixtures along the roadway and fled the scene at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was later located at a residence in the City of Maynard.

Deputies attempted to make contact with the registered owner of the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado, 64-year-old Jeffrey J Walker. Walker brandished a firearm while speaking with the deputies and refused to drop the firearm. During the hour-long standoff, Walker discharged his firearm in attempt to have deputies fire upon him.

The standoff ended peacefully, and Walker was taken into custody.

Walker was transported to the Fayette County Jail where he is charged with striking fixtures upon a highway, operating while under the influence, possession of a dangerous weapon while intoxicated, reckless use of firearm, interference with official acts and failure to maintain control.

This case remains under investigation and more charges may be pending.
