A Halifax man was charged Tuesday morning for allegedly firing rifle shots into a residence at 634 Franklin Street.
Roanoke Rapids Police Chief Andy Jackson said bullets hit the house and a truck, one going through a window where a 3-month-old child was staying.
The disturbance that led to the arrest of Caleb Lee Snider, 23, of Highway 561, was apparently over a woman, Jackson said.
Just after midnight, Officer Chris Biggerstaff responded to the 600 block of Franklin Street after receiving a call that a person, later identified as Snider, was sitting outside in his vehicle, revving the engine and squealing tires.
On the first attempt, Biggerstaff was unable to locate anyone. Just after 1:45, however, a call was received that shots were being fired in the same area.
After receiving a vehicle description, he spotted it on Roanoke Avenue, reportedly locating a rifle in the passenger area with live and empty rounds.
Snider was charged with discharging a firearm into occupied property, one count of injury to real property and one count of injury to personal property.
He was jailed on $5,000 secured bond and has an October 29 court date.
