SMPD arrests man for deadly conduct

San Marcos Police arrested a man Thursday night after responding to a report of shots fired in the area of Crest Drive. 

Witnesses also reported gunshots in the area of Hillcrest and Craddock Ave around 11:09 p.m. Thursday. A white passenger car fired rounds at an older BMW model in the cul-de-sac of Crest Drive, according to witnesses. Officers caught up with the car and conducted a high-risk stop. The driver of the white car called SMPD to report that he was being followed and didn’t know why before being stopped, SMPD said. 

The driver and sole occupant of the car was identified as Dillon Snethkamp, 20, and admitted to having a handgun in his vehicle, officials said. Snethkamp claimed that he was “just leaving a friend’s residence,” but changed his account after he was confronted with what witnesses saw.
