An Anneta man has been accused of firing a handgun at a car containing four people, including a teenager and baby.
Monday night at 8:30, Grayson County Deputies Thomas Lane, Sean Fentress and Ryan Heavrin along with Sgt. Jordan Jones responded to White Oak Road in Anneta on the report of gunfire.
Upon arriving at the scene, police discovered that a female driver and three other people, including the teen and six-month-old baby, went to a White Oak Road residence to pick up a female who said she didn’t feel safe.
The vehicle occupied by the four people “passed up the driveway, went up the road and turned around and when she came back,” 26-year-old Dalton Q. Embry “was standing in the road with a handgun,” according to the arrest citation.
As the vehicle drove by Embry, the victim told police the suspect “fired a shot at her car.”
Police made contact with Embry as he sat in a vehicle near the residence. He was armed with a 9mm handgun “concealed in his waistband.”
Embry was detained, and after being mirandized, he told police “… he saw the vehicle go up the road and thought it was suspicious because he has had things stolen from his residence in the past,” the citation states.
The suspect then stated that “… he walked out to the road and fired a shot up in the air to ‘scare’ the people in the car.”
Embry was arrested and charged with four counts of felony wanton endangerment and lodged in the Grayson County Detention Center.
