A Bloomington man was arrested on the tentative charge of first degree recklessly endangering safety after an incident involving his brother that happened Friday morning, according to the Grant County Sheriff’s Department.

On Oct. 26, around 8:10 a.m., the sheriff’s department responded to 11134 Hickory Rd. in Bloomington Township. An investigation showed that  Robert Steiger, Jr., 26, was woken by a family member who was operating a piece of machinery near the residence. Steiger exited his residence, armed with a shotgun, and confronted his brother, a 15-year-old male. Steiger was upset his brother had woken him, so he approached his brother and discharged a 12-gauge shotgun near him while he was on the machinery, the sheriff’s department said.

Steiger then went back into the residence and retrieved more ammunition before exiting the property with the shotgun and ammunition. He was located a short time later in the city of Prairie du Chien, where he was taken into custody, according to authorities. 

Steiger is being held at the Grant County Jail on the tentative charge of first degree recklessly endangering safety.
