WHITE CREEK -- A White Creek man was charged with felony reckless endangerment Saturday afternoon after he allegedly twice fired a rifle toward a man who he thought was trespassing on his property, one of the shots hitting a tree 20 feet away from the victim, police said.

Erick T. Roberson-Mulready, 22, of White Creek, was arrested after the 12:30 p.m. incident off Center White Creek Lane, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.

Police described the confrontation as follows:

A man was riding an all-terrain vehicle on property where he had permission to hunt when he heard a gunshot and the sound of a round hitting a tree near him. He then heard loud swearing from a man, who was yelling for him to get off his property.

As the victim drove away on the four-wheeler, he heard another shot ring out. It was unclear what it hit, but the victim was not hit.

Police were called and seized a .270-caliber rifle during the investigation.

It was determined that the victim had not gone on Roberson-Mulready's property.
