Summary
12:45 a.m. Saturday found Mark Lee Jackson, 59, still at large after police said he shot and wounded a Muscatine officer during a foot pursuit Friday evening.
Police said a sheriff’s deputy tried to stop Jackson’s vehicle at 5:12 p.m., but he sped through neighborhoods, crashed, fled on foot and opened fire when officers caught up with him around 5:27 p.m.
The wounded officer was reported stable, though officials had not released the officer’s condition, while residents were told to shelter in place and avoid Muscatine’s south end near the Rosebowl.
Jackson was described as armed and dangerous — 5-foot-10, 145 pounds, with blue eyes and thinning gray hair — as an ISP aircraft and an armored vehicle joined the overnight search.
