Warsaw, in Kosciusko Superior Court last Thursday. Dingledine was arrested in connection with a shooting incident near the Stonyridge Tavern on Tippecanoe Lake May 21 involving a Syracuse man. The incident, which was not reported to police until May 22, resulted in the arrest of the defendant May 23 on the preliminary charge of battery. He was officially charged with attempted murder and battery May 24 and is being held in county jail in lieu of SIO,OOO bond. According to county police. Dingledine allegedly pointed a .38 caliber pistol at Jan Weldy, 30, Syracuse, and fired one shot grazing Weldy’s head. The defendant, who was a doorman at the tavern, is reported to have arrived on the scene in the parking lot after a fight developed between Weldy and two unidentified men. The fight concerned an obscene remark one man made about Weldy’s female companion. Dingledine told police he did not shoot Weldy, but fired a warning shot in the air to breakup the fight. Weldy, who was grazed on the left side of his head, said he saw a man point a gun at him and jerked his head away. The two men fled the parking lot in an auto. Dingeldine then reportedly struck the window of the Weldy car with the gun after the injured victim was inside the vehicle. Weldy was treated at a Syracuse physician’s home.
