A MAQUOKETA MAN, JOSEPH POTTER THE 3RD, AGE 42, IS IN JAIL ON $5,000 CASH BOND AFTER HE WENT FOR A GUN WHEN A JACKSON COUNTY SHERIFF DEPUTY ATTEMPTED TO STOP HIM. DEPUTY SHERIFF MIKE PETERS SAID POTTER WAS SHOWING A GUN TO CHILDREN AT LITTLE BEAR PARK AT 7:52 FRIDAY NIGHT. PETERS FOUND POTTER RIDING HIS BICYCLE AT NORTH 5TH STREET AND GROVE SHORTLY AFTER AND WHEN

GOT HIM TO THE GROUND AND IN HIS POCKET, THE DEPUTY FOUND A LOADED 32
CALIBER PISTOL WITH FIVE ROUNDS. THE DEPUTY ALSO FOUND A TUBE WITH
WHITE POWDER, USED FOR METH. POTTER WAS ARRESTED WITHOUT INCIDENT.
