Bluffton man pleads not guilty in Municipal Court charges
A Bluffton man faces charges in Lima Municipal Court following June 26, incident on North Lawn Avenue, according to Rick Skillier, Bluffton police chief.
Police officials were called to investigate a report of gunshots followed by someone screaming. While investigating the complaint, officers discovered the source of the commotion to be from a residence in the area of Lawn Avenue and Washington Street.
The investigating officers learned the incident stemmed from a neighborhood dispute involving an adult male and two juvenile females.
The male reported he was tired of the girls making noise with a bicycle horn and he wanted it to stop. Initially, officers suspected fireworks to be the source of the sound, but later determined that a small caliber handgun was discharged twice during the incident.
Gary G. Wymer has entered not guilty pleas to the charges of Possession of Fireworks, Inducing Panic, Pointing and Discharging a Firearm in the village, and Use/Possession/Sale of Drug Paraphernalia.
