A 24-year-old Cleveland man was arrested and charged over the weekend for allegedly shooting his neighbor.
Around 5:48 a.m. on August 6, a woman called 911 to report her boyfriend was shot. White County E-911 dispatched deputies to 197 Webb West Road.
When deputies arrived, they located the victim, 33-year-old William Hooper of Cleveland. Hooper told them he received some minor injuries from a gunshot while jogging. EMTs were called to the scene to evaluate him.
Sheriff’s Capt. Clay Hammond says deputies contacted the alleged shooter, Dalton Nichols, of Cleveland. As a result of their investigation, deputies arrested Nichols and charged him with aggravated assault.
Nichols was released from jail Monday, August 8, on a $10,000 bond. Investigators did not release a motive for the shooting.
