CHP Arrests Primary Suspect in Prunedale Projectile Investigation

South County residents who may commute on Highway 101 and State Route 156 in the Prunedale and San Benito County area can now breathe a sigh of relief as the Monterey CHP arrested 52-year-old Charles Lafferty in connection with a projectile investigation on Wednesday, January 22. The investigation goes back to February 19, 2019 as 69 incidents of vehicles traveling upon SR-156 and US-101 in the Prunedale area, as well as on SR-156 in San Benito County were struck by projectiles. 4 adults and 1 child received minor injuries as a result of being hit by glass during these incidents. The CHP believes that Lafferty carried out these attacks alone using a sling shot and glass marbles. Although Lafferty was in possession of a silencer at the time of his arrest, the CHP does not believe a firearm was used during any of these incidents. Lafferty is currently in custody at the Monterey County Jail on $250,000 bail after being booked by CHP investigators.
