(Fishers, Indiana) – On March 31, 2012 at approximately 10:30pm The Hamilton County Dispatch Center received a 911 call from a resident in the 11900 block of Cobblestone Drive (116th Street and Brooks School Road). The resident told the Dispatcher that his roommate had fired a gun in the house.[FONT=&quot][/FONT]

Officer J. Hawkins and Officer P. Berry quickly arrived at the home and observed two men standing on the front porch. Both men were detained and transported to The Fishers Police Department. While securing the home officers located a bullet hole in an upstairs window and a handgun in the kitchen.

Sounds like he is in for some trouble. The only thing I dont get is if both men went peacefully, gave statements, and the guy admitted to doing what he did, then how do they reason the misdemeanor Interfering with Crime Reporting charge?

Screen Name?

Why were both men transported?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Allegedly!!!

 

[LEaSH]

Maybe there was a bat flying around the house.

Reading the story, it sounds like a couple of 20ish aged guys.
Wasn't expecting the 41 year old.

Allegedly!!!

Is it still alleged if he admitted to it?

My thoughts exactly.

DON'T TALK TO COPS

How much simpler can it get?

i can go along with not saying allegedly because he fessed up. probably did so because he did not realize what he did was wrong. "i was only trying to scare him, it is not like i shot AT him"
luckily this had a happy ending, DA is taken into custody, and we dont have a story that says man tries to scare room mate, fires gun through window and kills single mother of 3. if your life is not in danger and you are not target shooting or cleaning it, keep it in the dag gone holster

That's not universally true, but this is one of the rare instances that I probably agree. Dummies

Stupid comes in many shapes and sizes.

Sounds like a "domestic" dispute to me.

Kirk,

Sorry, dude, but if the doofus made a statement to Uncle LEO without an attorney present it moves toward: "I admit to my crime. It really happened. Punish me!"

Doesn't it...?

[Kirk Freeman]

Weeelllll, maybe, maybe not.

Maybe he was in custody and was Mirandized, or, if given a fruit hat, Carmen Mirandized, and gave this in response to a question.

He shall fight pre-filing, we shall fight at the initial hearing, we shall blind them with motions, we shall never surrender.

Where is my Churchill smilie? How much for a Churchill smilie?

 

[Libertarian01]

Kirk,

I do suppose that it is better to go down swinging that to just go down.

Regards,

Doug

PS - Doofus still should have kept his mouth shut!

 

[45calibre]

why were they both taken in and why was the house searched?
