Shots Fired On Wawona Circle - No Injuries, One Arrest

A 47-year-old man was arrested for firing at an unoccupied vehicle.

A possible drug debt was apparently behind a bizarre episode on Wawona Circle Friday, when 47-year-old Brian Hope fired several rounds into an empty pickup truck, police say. 

Residents on nearby Sentinel Drive flooded 9-1-1 with calls about shots fired around 12:40 p.m. Police responded to a home on the 100 block of Wawona Court, where a resident told them he had fired several rounds from his rifle into someone else's pickup truck.

Police said that the owner of the truck came to the Wawona Circle home to collect a drug debt. As he approached the house, Hope fired several rounds at the unoccupied truck. The truck owner ran back to his vehicle and drove away. No one was shot at, and no one was harmed, police say.
