ROCK FALLS - It was a quiet evening, typical of the remote area near Rock Falls in southeastern Dunn County.

Denise Hazen was relaxing, watching television in the living room, when suddenly she heard her son Cody Hazen yell, "Get down! Get down!"

She then heard the sound of something breaking and what she thought were gunshots. She began turning lights off in the house and immediately called authorities.

An argument over the sale of some marijuana or a disagreement about a comment made about a girlfriend may have been the catalyst for a drive-by shooting Wednesday that shattered the calm of the Hazen family home, authorities said Thursday.

Four men have been arrested in the incident. They face felony charges in Dunn County of being party to first-degree reckless endangerment and discharging a firearm from a vehicle.

In custody are Tony A. Hurlburt, 19, Durand; James M. Hutter, 20, Arkansaw; Johnathon M. Hutter, 18, Arkansaw; and Spenser A. Weber, 19, Eau Claire.

According to the criminal complaints filed Thursday:

Dunn County authorities were called to a home at N1170 850th St. in the town of Rock Creek; at about 8:15 p.m. Denise Hazen reported a drive-by shooting at her home.

Deputies found eight .22-caliber shell casings near where the driveway residence meets 850th Street. A deputy also found a .22-caliber bullet on the kitchen floor.

There also appeared to be a bullet hole in the kitchen window of the single-family residence.

One bullet penetrated a window, hit a cabinet and damaged a porcelain doll, Hazen said.

Deputies found chip marks on the front of the house, which has a brick surface, consistent with bullet marks.

"It seemed like forever but really was extremely quick," Denise Hazen, 36, said Thursday afternoon about the shooting. "It's hard to believe someone would actually shoot at us."

A third person, Leah Stambaugh, Cody Hazen's girlfriend, reported she was in the basement of the home and did not see anything.

Denise Hazen said she asked Cody, a Durand High School senior, if he knew what might have caused the shooting.

Denise Hazen said her son had been text-messaging with Weber, and "Cody said something bad in the text, I guess."

During the shooting, Cody said: "I can't believe he's doing that," Denise Hazen said.

According to the complaint, Weber said Johnathon Hutter was angry at Cody Hazen for allegedly saying he hoped Weber's sister would die with her unborn child. The baby is Johnathon Hutter's child.

Cody Hazen, 18, told authorities he recently had an argument with Weber over some marijuana Weber had sold to a friend of Cody's. It was supposed to be 1 gram of marijuana but turned out to be one-half of a gram.

Weber allegedly left a voice-mail message with Cody Hazen telling him to come to Durand and fight Weber, which Cody Hazen did not do.

Stambaugh confirmed there was an altercation between Weber and Cody Hazen on Monday in Durand.

Weber was arrested at his parents' home in Durand by Durand police shortly after the incident. He allegedly told police the four men went to Cody Hazen's house in James Hutter's car.

James Hutter was stopped for a loud muffler by Eau Claire police and was arrested Thursday. The car was seized.

Johnathon Hutter and Hurlburt were arrested Thursday.

Weber allegedly told authorities that Johnathon Hutter shot a handgun from the back seat of the car.

Dunn County sheriff's deputies and State Patrol troopers were at the scene from about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday until 4:30 a.m. Thursday, Denise Hazen said.

"It will be nice to get some sleep tonight, knowing the police know who did this," said Denise, who moved from Eau Claire to the rural area near Rock Falls about 10 years ago.

"It's usually pretty quiet out here, but not last night."
