GRAND TOWER -- Authorities are looking for a 51-year-old Grand Tower man after he allegedly rammed two vehicles and a fire hydrant, causing some residents to be without water Thursday night.

Jackson County Sheriff's deputies allege Kyle McMahon rammed his Jeep several times into a parked pickup truck near the intersection of Second and Market streets while the owner was in it.  The owner, a 20-year-old Grand Tower man who wasn't identified by authorities, received minor injuries, according to the sheriff's report.

McMahon also allegedly hit a second parked vehicle and a hydrant, deputies said.

Grand Tower Public Works employees had to repair the damage and several residents went without water during that time.

Authorities posit the alleged incident stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the two men.

Deputies arrested Kyle Bond, 24, also of Grand Tower and charged him with obstructing justice.  Authorities allege Bond helped McMahon flee the scene.
