Rainbow City police charged a Gadsden man with shooting into a car and other offenses after his confrontation with a resident in the 200 block of Friendship Road, according to Chief John Bryant.

Devan Raschon Brown, 25, is charged with discharging a firearm into an unoccupied dwelling or vehicle, second-degree criminal mischief and harassment. He was jailed on bonds totaling $10,000.

Officers were dispatched to the address after reports of multiple shots fired in the area.

When they arrived, a woman told them her daughter’s boyfriend, identified as Brown, fired a shot into her 2014 Dodge Charger after a physical altercation, according to Lt. Je’Michael Bonner.

It started when she asked him to leave the home, she told police. They argued and the physical altercation followed. The woman told police Brown slapped her multiple times and tried to choke her. When she got away from him and went to a bedroom to get her gun, he left.

She followed him outside, and she said Brown fired a shot into the car. She said she fired a shot in the air to try to get him to leave. He left the residence before police arrived.

Brown came to Rainbow City Hall that same day to talk to investigators, Bonner said in a press release, and he admitted firing a gun into the vehicle. He denied slapping or trying to choke the victim.

Brown was arrested then for warrants from the Etowah County Sheriff’s Office, the Gadsden Police Department and the Fort Payne Police Department.

Bonner obtained warrants against Brown Monday for the three charges. A conviction on the felony charge of firing a gun into the unoccupied vehicle is punishable by as much as 10 years in prison.
