A short time later the two security guards went outside and heard the engine of a vehicle begin to rev up. One of the security guards then saw the vehicle begin to drive straight at him, which prompted the guard to pull his firearm and shoot at the oncoming vehicle several times.

The guard later told authorities he was afraid for his life, as he believed the driver of the vehicle was attempting to hit him.

Dakota News Now reports in the process of the gunfire, the vehicle crashed into a nearby apartment building.

The driver of the vehicle, 39-year-old Gabriel Sanchez of Sioux Falls, initially fled the scene, but then eventually returned.

Sanchez was later arrested by police for two counts of Aggravated Assault, and one count of Intentional Damage to Property. No charges were filed against the victim.

Dakota News Now is reporting the apartment building sustained nearly $20,000 in damage.

The 10 Most Redneck Towns in South Dakota

Are you a 'Redneck?' I guess to some people, all of us in South Dakota are rednecks.

If we use the Jeff Foxworthy Scale of Redneckeness, I have, in fact, been too drunk to fish. So by definition, I am a redneck. And so are many people I know.

Not that being from the country is a bad thing, and it can be fun to poke fun at ourselves.

With that in mind, we found that the folks at RoadSnacks put together a list that claims 'These Are The 10 Most Redneck Cities In South Dakota.'

What is a Redneck?

The dictionary says that a redneck is someone "...who lives in a small town or in the country, especially in the southern U.S., who typically has a working-class job, and who is seen by others as being uneducated and having opinions and attitudes that are offensive."

Well, a few things. First, South Dakota isn't THAT kind of 'south.' We're to the south of North Dakota, but to the north of 'The South.'

Plus that definition sounds awful mean and serious. I thought we were having fun here.

RoadSnacks leaned into the funny, Jeff Foxworthy-based version of a redneck. Then they rounded up select data on places in SD to determine their rankings. RoadSnacks Redneck Criteria:
