A deputy making a traffic stop was reportedly fired upon early this afternoon at the Arrow Mart in Byron.
Deputy Andrew Hale and Deputy Joseph Corona were conducting a traffic detail when Hale initiated a traffic stop, according to Sheriff Gary Maha.
After speaking with the driver, Hale was returning to his vehicle when he heard a pop and the rear window of his patrol vehicle shattered.
He radioed for backup and Corona noticed that an upper floor window of the Byron Hotel was open.
Once backup arrived, Hale, Corona and Chief Deputy Gordon Dibble entered the building and located a man inside.
The suspect "made some admissions" and is currently in custody, Maha said.
No one was injured in the incident.
The Sheriff's Office is planning a press conference for 4 p.m.
