A teen faces a reckless conduct charge after his mother said he fired a gun at her boyfriend, but others said he shot fireworks at the man Saturday in the 200 block of Carver Street.

Officers responded after the mother called police and said her son had shot at the boyfriend during an argument and left in a vehicle. An officer stopped the car the juvenile was riding in and he went back to the home with the officer, where the boyfriend and others denied that the teen had a gun.

The boyfriend was “adamant” the teen had shot fireworks at him, and no one saw the juvenile with a weapon, but heard a shot and saw a flash in the teen’s hand. The mother said she thought the teen had grabbed a gun and started firing, and an officer found a bullet shell casing in the area where the mother claimed the teen had been firing the gun.

Officers charged the teen with reckless conduct for allegedly shooting fireworks at another person, completed a juvenile complaint form against him and released him to his mother.

A 20-year-old woman was charged with DUI after she allegedly hit a car in a parking lot early Saturday morning.

A woman told police that the driver had struck her vehicle while backing out of a space at the apartment complex at Mitchell Avenue and North Greenwood Street about 2 a.m. and drove off. After gathering information on the suspected vehicle and driver, identified as Kevin Yanna Grier, whose address was unavailable, the responding officer reported that he searched the area and eventually came across the car.

He pulled the vehicle over and had Grier to go back to the apartment. Grier allegedly told the officer she had called the vehicle’s owner after striking it in order to not “fuss about it in person,” according to a report.

The officer said Grier smelled of alcohol and gave her a field sobriety test and then a breath test, which showed a 0.089 percent blood alcohol content. The legal limit in Georgia is 0.08 percent. The officer arrested Grier on a charge of DUI and cited her for improper backing.

She was taken to Troup County Jail.
