♦ Early Tuesday morning Ray Leonard Wiseman, 23, of 408 North Craig Street, was arrested for allegedly firing into an occupied home at 134 Newsome Road. The persons inside the home fearfully scrambled for cover as slugs shattered glass and punched holes in the walls. Wiseman allegedly gunned his engine and took off, eventually slamming his van into a phone pole near Newsome Road and East Council Street where he abandoned his transportation and fled on foot.
Soon after the Salisbury Police found Wiseman’s van, they began a search of the area. Wiseman was discovered walking nearby.
Luckily nobody was injured in the house although glass shards covered the floor. It was reported Wiseman used a .22 cal. handgun
Wiseman was charged with discharging a firearm into an occupied property (felony). Under a secured $25,000 bond, Wiseman was briefly held in Rowan County Detention Center before being released on bond.
No motive disclosed yet for the shooting.
