Police said over the weekend paintballs were fired from a moving truck at multiple people outside the SCS.

Just after midnight, police allege a white Dodge truck drove past and someone fired multiple paintballs.

Two males were able to avoid being struck but a female staff member was hit multiple times in the leg, arm, torso and face. Police said the truck returned seconds later and fired additional paintballs.

Police said multiple tips from the public helped identify a suspect, who was arrested at his home on Aug. 25 without incident. A paintball gun was also seized.

Bulman is currently in custody awaiting a release hearing.
