A Wall Lake man who died after a gunfire exchange with officers in Webster County had a history of drug- and alcohol-related charges, according to online court documents. Officials with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said 45-year-old Matthew Hurley died Monday night after engaging in a gunfight while driving away from officers who were responding to a domestic disturbance call just outside Fort Dodge.Tire tracks still mark where the deadly chase ended along Highway 175 between Dayton and Harcourt. Authorities identified the officers involved as Iowa State Patrol Sgt. Aaron Schmidt and Calhoun County Sheriff’s Deputy Chase Goodman, who were both placed on administrative leave pending an investigation, which is standard procedure. The officers saw Hurley’s vehicle and tried stopping it before a chase began. Deputies said Hurley started shooting at them, and they fired back. Hurley crashed into a farm field, where authorities found him dead inside the vehicle. Investigators are still awaiting autopsy, toxicology and laboratory tests. “What startled me is hearing the sirens so close and then hearing the gunshots,” said Deborah Elsberry, who lives nearby. “I looked out the window, and there were police everywhere.”Hurley has had numerous run-ins with law enforcement authorities, court documents show. He’s had a list of drug and alcohol charges since 2013. In Polk County, he pleaded guilty to a controlled substance violation and was sentenced to prison. That same year, Story County authorities arrested him for possession of methamphetamine with the intent to deliver. Officials said he was selling drugs out of his home, which was near an elementary school. In Woodbury County, deputies pulled Hurley over for drunken driving in 2017. Officers found an open container of alcohol, a glass pipe and brass knuckles. The Iowa DCI said results of the investigation will be forwarded to the Webster County Attorney’s Office for review.
