Charges filed against Macks Creek man accused of shooting at home

CAMDEN COUNTY, Mo. (KMIZ)

A Macks Creek man faces charges in Camden County after he's accused of shooting at a home.

Deputies arrested Martin B. Perez, 59, early Tuesday morning at a home off of Blackberry Lane in Macks Creek. Investigators responded to the area after a person reported their neighbor was shooting a gun into their home, according to the Camden County Sheriff's Office.

No one was hurt in the shooting.

Deputies said damage found outside of the home was consistent with impacts from bullets. A ruptured water line in the home also caused some water damage, according to the sheriff's office.

Deputies said Perez admitted to shooting at a light on his property but stopped working with investigators. Inside the home, deputies reportedly found several guns, spent shell casings, and more evidence of property damage.

The Camden County Prosecutor's Office filed felony charges of unlawful use of a weapon and armed criminal action against Perez. He's being held in the Camden County Adult Detention Facility on no bond.

A court hearing for Perez is scheduled for Thursday morning.
