Shots fired
County man charged
A Wapakoneta man has been charged with discharging weapons while intoxicated after law enforcement responded to a call early Tuesday morning.
Auglaize County Sheriff’s Office Deputies are still investigating an incident in which gunfire was reported in Clay Township.
The call came at 3:24 a.m. on Tuesday from a resident in the southeast area of Clay Township who reported that a home security camera caught video of a neighbor coming onto his property and then leaving. Shortly after, multiple gun shots could be heard close by, coming from a wooded area.
When deputies arrived on scene, they could still hear the gun fire coming from a residence that sits inside a wooded lot. Deputies attempted contact with the homeowner and for unknown reasons, the male subject refused to come out or speak with deputies.
Due to a weapon already being fired and further investigation into the residence and the homeowner appearing to being under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the Auglaize County Special Response Team responded to the scene and attempted to make contact with the male subject. After several hours, the male subject exited the residence and was placed into custody.
The male subject was later identified as Scott E. Daisy, 39, of Wapakoneta. Daisy was charged with using a weapon while Intoxicated, a first degree misdemeanor and transported to
the Auglaize County Correctional Center. Daisy’s bond was set at $25,000 with a 10% privilege.
Assisting at the scene were personnel from the Allen County Sheriff’s Office, St. Marys EMS, Ohio State Highway Patrol, and St. Johns Fire and EMS.
According to a press release from the Auglaize County Sheriff’s Office, the incident is currently under investigation and no further comment would be made at this time.
