A 23-year-old is facing a slew of weapons, assault and drug charges after authorities said he fired a gun during a domestic dispute in Jersey City on Tuesday night.

Tieshoan Ashley was charged with three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, burglary, terroristic threats, and other weapons and drug offenses when he was arrested following the incident at a Virginia Avenue home, Jersey City spokeswoman Kimberley Wallace-Scalcione said.

Police responded to the residence just before 11:30 p.m. on the report of a domestic dispute that was upgraded to shots fired while the officers were en route. Officers determined a weapon had been fired outside the home, which is located between Kennedy Boulevard and West Side Avenue, but the shooter had fled, Wallace-Scalcione said.

However, police tracked Ashley several blocks from the Virginia Avenue home and found him lying in grass. A firearm was found about 5 feet from where he was hiding, Wallace-Scalcione added.

Ashley was additionally charged with endangering the welfare of children, criminal mischief, resisting arrest and several counts of bail jumping. Police also said he had 23 glass vials of suspected cocaine on him and 16 glassine bags containing suspected heroin.

While Wallace-Scalcione said Ashley is "known to the resident" of the Virginia Avenue home, the exact relationship between the two people was not provided.
