Four people were arrested Monday following the shooting of an Illinois Department of Transportation snow plow.

The truck was plowing Interstate 24 in Massac County when the driver reported being shot at by an SUV with tinted windows. No one was injured, but the bullets shattered the vent windows on the truck.

Illinois State Police troopers and Johnson County deputies located the SUV a short time later on I-24 and five people were taken into custody without incident. One passenger was released without charges. Two guns were recovered from the vehicle.

Kenneth Lamont Leonard and Stevon A. Johnson were both charged with unlawful use of a weapon. Johnson was also charged with aggravated assault and possession of marijuana. Eric A. Calicutt was charged with driving on a suspended license and Latoya L. Clark was charged on an outstanding warrant.
