He said that the next day, he saw a bullet hole in the neighbor’s window that was in line with his residence. He then found the bullet hole in his shed.

The bleeding man said he was hit by another male with a wooden chair. The deputy found a wooden chair in pieces with blood on it. The bleeding man refused medical treatment. An attempt to find the alleged attacker was unsuccessful.

Shortly after the responding deputy left the scene, the man called BCSO to report the alleged attacker damaged his car. The victim said that before the alleged attacker hit him, he heard what he thought was noise from animals. He said he didn’t notice earlier that the car had been damaged.

A deputy went to the man’s residence and found the sideview mirror on the man’s car had been damaged.
