On October 12, 2024, at approximately 12:50 p.m., officers of the Lake Havasu City Police Department were dispatched to the 1500 block of Beachcomber Boulevard in reference to a shooting that just occurred.

Upon the officers' arrival, it was determined that an unauthorized Can-Am off-road vehicle was being driven on the track at the location. As security personnel attempted to flag down the vehicle to remove it from the track, the driver accelerated past the guard, narrowly missing him. The security guard pursued the vehicle on foot and, in an effort to stop it before the police arrived, discharged a handgun at the vehicle's tires as it fled the scene.

As a result of the investigation, 64-year-old Lake Havasu City Resident Paul Woodly was arrested for disorderly conduct with a weapon and was released on his own recognizance at his initial appearance.

There were no injuries due to this incident, and there is no threat to the community.

Two male subjects occupied the Can-Am; the driver was in his mid to late 20s with shoulder-length brown hair. No additional description of the passenger was provided.

Anyone with additional details surrounding this incident is encouraged to contact the Police Department at (928) 855-1171 or contact Havasu Silent Witness at 928-854-TIPS (8477) where you can remain anonymous. Citizens can also email TIPS@LHCAZ.GOV.
