A man accused of following a woman and her two children into a Fountain parking lot and firing multiple shots into their vehicle in April has been arrested.

The suspect has been identified as Clinton Padgett, 45.

On April 10, a woman called the Fountain Police Department to report a road-rage incident. She said a man in a vehicle had followed her into a retail store parking lot in the 11300 block of Jimmy Camp Road, and fired multiple shots at her vehicle.

Police found several bullets had struck the headrests where the children were sitting, narrowly missing them.

On May 20, Padgett was taken into custody with the assistance of the Department of Corrections Fugitive Parole Unit and booked into El Paso County jail on suspicion of three counts of attempted murder, possession of a weapon by a previous offender and illegal discharge of a firearm among other alleged crimes.

Jail records show that Padgett is still in custody, on a parole hold. His next court date is May 28.
