Cantonment Man Charged With Shooting At Neighbor

September 24, 2013

A Cantonment man has been charged with firing a weapon at his neighbor.

During the early morning hours of August 30, 64-year old James Lee Grandison of 206 Sheppard Street called the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office to report that he had just shot someone across the street that was threatening him.

Deputies arrived to find Grandison and an empty shotgun shell in the front yard of his home, and they located the victim inside of a travel trailer across Sheppard Street.

The victim suffered a minor wound to his shin from buckshot. The victim refused medical treatment, and he refused to press charges against Grandison, who was known to him.

A warrant was later issued for Grandison’s arrest on a first degree misdemeanor charge of discharging a firearm in public. He was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $500 bond.

    He should only have to do some community service, if anything. It sounds to me like the neighbor deserved what he got, especially since he did not want to press any charges. On top of that, Mr. Grandison is the one who called the authorities to inform them of what happened. I say good for him and I hope they do not try to lock this guy up.

    @TG : Just because some is your neighbor does not make them great people or deserving of kindness. Sadly, those days are long gone.

    Firing a firearm at your neighbor is a misdemeanor ?

    Treat your neighbors kind as they will always be next to you.
