Man arrested after shooting at construction workers

RAPID CITY, S.D. — Police have arrested a Rapid City man after he allegedly fired shots at construction workers along a highway.

The Pennington County Sheriff’s Department responded Monday afternoon to reports of a man shooting at construction workers along State Highway 79 south of Rapid City.

Authorities say 53-year-old Carl George Relf of Rapid City was arrested, and charged with six counts of aggravated assault. Relf is accused of pointing a handgun at construction workers and others, and firing at least a couple of rounds. No one was injured.

A sheriff’s spokeswoman says it appears the man has no connection to the workers.

The case has been turned over to the Pennington County State’s Attorney’s Office.
