A Cantonment man is facing multiple felony charges after two shots fired disturbances in Cottage Hill Saturday morning.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to the 1800 block of Williams Ditch Road about 4 a.m. The victim reported that as he exited his vehicle someone driving a dark colored SUV fired two shots at him, according to Sgt. Melanie Peterson. She said the victim identified the gunman as 38-year old James Peter Tipton of Cantonment.
About 7 a.m. deputies responded to another shots fired disturbance a short distance away in the 1400 block of Highway 95A. Tipton’s uncle reported that Tipton drove into his yard, and the uncle observed Tipton removing guns from his SUV and placing them into the bed of the victim’s truck, Peterson said. The victim also stated that Tipton fired two shots from a rifle into the woods.
Tipton was taken into custody without incident. There were no injuries reported.
The complete list of charges against Tipton was not immediately available, but he is expected to be charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, burglary and other felonies, Peterson said.
