An arrest was made following a shooting incident Wednesday evening in Trigg County.
An arrest citation for 21-year old Ethan Riddle of Clarksville says he went to Riddle’s Towing on Clay Street to confront his father about some type of issue and that he admitted to firing a gun during an altercation when his father asked him to leave.
His father sustained non-life-threatening injuries to his face and back of his head and was taken by private vehicle to a local hospital for treatment.
Riddle initially fled the scene, but later agreed to come back and talk to the Trigg County Sheriff’s Department.
He reportedly told police he never meant to hurt his father and he agreed he needed to undergo a psychological evaluation.
Riddle was arrested and charged with first-degree assault.
Detectives from the Christian County Sheriff’s Office were called to Trigg County to help process the scene.
