2 arrested in Charleston said they were huntingCHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — Police have arrested two men after one of them was spotted firing a gun in downtown Charleston. The Post and Courier of Charleston (http://bit.ly/LF5axi) reported police were called to a neighborhood after someone called 911 saying a man was firing a rifle toward an overpass. It turned out to be a BB gun and there were no reported injuries. But 21-year-old Phillip Joseph Popoff was charged with firing a spring gun. Forty-seven-year-old Bryan Allen Matzke is charged with trespassing. A police report says Popoff told officers they were shooting at birds at the overpass with the Daisy BB gun they had purchased from a pawn shop earlier Tuesday. It was not clear if the Charleston men have lawyers. ___ Information from: The Post and Courier, http://www.postandcourier.com Most Popular |
