Police are reporting the arrest of a 31 year old Junction City man, Christopher Barnes, in a shots fired case. 

Assistant Police Chief Cory Odell reported that the call came in about 11:30 p.m. Sunday. Police cordoned off the 1200, 1300 and 1400 blocks of North Washington Street downtown for their investigation. That area has since been reopened.

Barnes was arrested at a Sandusky Street location on recommended charges  of Stalking, Unlawful Discharge of a Firearm, Felony Possession of a Firearm, and drug related allegations.

Barnes is being held in the Geary County Detention Center without bond. There were not any injuries in the case.
