Bail set at $250000 in car shooting
A 22-year-old Oak Harbor resident accused of shooting up cars with an SKS rifle could face up to six years in prison if convicted of the charges against him, according to court documents.
Jacob Whitaker pleaded not guilty in Island County Superior Court March 26 to two counts of malicious mischief and three counts of unlawful possession of a firearm.
Whitaker is being held in the county jail in lieu of $250,000 bail.
A resident of Valley Road outside of Oak Harbor called 911 March 12 to report that Whitaker had shot up two cars parked in front of the home, according to court documents. Deputies responded and found one car riddled with 11 bullet holes and another car that had a bullet pass through the engine compartment.
The victim said another man, later identified as Troy Housden, was with Whitaker at the time of the shooting, documents state.
