Felonious-assault charge
NILES -- A city man was expected to appear in court this morning after he reportedly fired a shotgun during an altercation with neighbors.
Thomas Hilty, 18, is charged with felonious assault, aggravated menacing and discharging a firearm after police said he got into an argument with a First Street man around 10:45 p.m. Sunday in the alley between First and Second streets. It is unclear on reports if Hilty lives on First or Second.
Reports said the neighbor was walking through the alley when Hilty approached him with the shotgun in his hands, which he then fired into the air. The man told police Hilty then went back into his home, returned with a board and struck him on the arm.
When police searched the home Hilty was in, they found the gun in the attic with a spent shell casing next to it, and also recovered three shells in a bedroom and a partial box of ammunition.
