SHELLEY — Investigators with the Shelley Police Department seek a suspect in Thursday’s Homecoming Parade incident that left several people with minor injuries.

“We want to clarify that no vehicles or individuals were struck by the suspect vehicle,” stated a prepared statement released on social media. “The injuries came from a float having to stop to avoid being struck by the suspect vehicle.”
