An Oakdale man is jailed on $750,000 bond after authorities say he shot a driver on Hwy 10.

Sheriff Doug Hebert says their office was notified of a shooting incident near the intersection of Hwy 10 and Hospital Drive in Oakdale on June 13.

Upon investigation, deputies say that the victim of the shooting was traveling east along the highway when Kristopher Mitchell, who was also traveling in the same direction, began shooting into the victim’s vehicle. The victim was shot in the upper body but was able to drive himself to a nearby hospital to receive treatment.

Deputies say they secured a warrant for the arrest of Mitchell for attempted murder and aggravated assault by drive-by shooting.

Mitchell turned himself in Tuesday and is held at the parish jail.
