Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputies escorted Halcott from the residence and he was told not to return. An hour later deputies were dispatched back to the residence because Halcott had returned.
While they were enroute, Halcott called 911 from his own residence at 621 Fern Street and advised dispatch that he was going to load his shotgun and teach them some respect. At the same several men arrived at Halcott’s residence and yelled at him from the city sidewalk. Halcott exited the house with a shotgun and fired three rounds into the air. The three men got into their vehicles and drove a short distance down the street. Halcott went back into his house and reloaded his shotgun. This time when he came out, he shot at the two vehicles.
One vehicle had several spots where the pellets had damaged the paint. The second vehicle had over 100 punctures from the shotgun pellets. No one was injured.
