PHOENIX (AP) - A Phoenix man has been arrested and accused of firing up to 10 gunshots in the direction of his girlfriend after she reportedly refused to go buy him cigarettes.
Phoenix police said 47-year-old Raymond White is facing charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm within city limits, disorderly conduct, unlawful imprisonment and threatening/intimidation.
It was unclear Tuesday if White has a lawyer yet.
Authorities say White was arguing with his live-in girlfriend of four years at the couple’s home late Monday night.
The unidentified woman said that during the course of the argument, White took a handgun out of his hip holster and pointed it at her.
She ran into the bedroom and hid behind the bed and said White fired eight to 10 shots in her direction.
The woman called 911 and White surrendered to police after telling detectives he blacked out and doesn’t remember what happened.
Phoenix TV station KPHO reports that court documents show police later found multiple bullet holes in a bedroom wall of the couple’s home.
