Sierra Vista Police Department issued the following announcement on Aug. 6.
The Sierra Vista Police Department arrested a local man on six counts of aggravated assault and six counts of endangerment this afternoon.
Several individuals contacted Southeast Arizona Communications (SEACOM) reporting gunshots in the area of Wilcox Drive and Park Court. SVPD responded and detectives arrested 62-year-old Sierra Vista resident David Sundt at the scene of the incident.
The incident began when Sundt and another individual were involved in a verbal argument regarding a traffic-related incident. At one point, Sundt took out a knife and attempted to pull the driver out from his vehicle. The driver, while attempting to flee, struck Sundt with the open driver’s side door, knocking him to the ground. As the driver then fled eastbound in the vehicle, Sundt removed a revolver from his waistband and fired six times towards the vehicle, striking it several times.
Another driver, who had been traveling westbound towards Sundt and the other driver involved in the incident, stopped when they observed the incident. After observing Sundt firing his pistol, the witness attempted to back out of the direction of fire. The vehicle they were driving struck a light pole on Wilcox Drive, damaging the vehicle and the Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative light pole.
Sundt was booked into the Cochise County Jail on six counts of aggravated assault and six counts of endangerment.
