An Elkview man was arrested early this morning after allegedly shooting a house and fighting police.
Christopher P. Young, 47, was arrested and charged with wanton endangerment, disorderly conduct, public intoxication, and obstructing an officer, according to a news release from the Kanawha County Sheriff's Office.
Police responded to the 4000 block of Indian Creek Road in the Elkview area after a report of a man screaming and striking an attached garage. Dispatchers could hear gunshots in the background while police were on their way to the scene.
Young allegedly ran a short distance when police got there, then fought deputies when they caught him and attempted to handcuff them. According to the release, he yelled, "Shoot me! Just put me down!"
Deputies said they found a .22 caliber revolver with five spent casings in his front pants pocket. They also said they found that one bullet had struck a nearby house.
