A Vancouver man who allegedly brandished a gun at a crowd outside a tavern before firing off a couple of shots into the air made a first appearance Monday in Clark County Superior Court.
Edward E. Frye, 41, appeared on suspicion of three counts of first-degree assault and one count of drive-by shooting in connection with the Sunday morning incident.
According to a probable cause affidavit, police responded shortly before 2 a.m. to the Quarterdeck Tavern, 4300 N.E. Fourth Plain Blvd. in Vancouver, on a report of shots fired.
Three people, identified in court records as Joshua Livingston, Brian Laven and Kasey Bay, said Frye pointed the gun at them before he fired off the shots, the affidavit said. They said he left in a dark-colored Jaguar, according to court records.
