A Hartly man was arrested Wednesday night after Dover police say he followed a woman to her home and shot her car five times after he wasn't allowed in the house.

Police were called at 6:46 p.m. Wednesday to the 1000 block of S. Bradford St. for a report of multiple shots fired in the area, Master Cpl. Mark Hoffman said. There, officers found a black vehicle with multiple bullet holes in it and the 34-year-old woman who reported the incident, he said.

The woman told police that she and 29-year-old Jason Scott were having an argument when she got out of the vehicle, Hoffman said. Scott then followed her to a friend's home on South Bradford Street and tried to get inside the home to talk to her, he said.

When he wasn't allowed inside, he left the home and shot the woman's car five times before leaving, Hoffman said.

Police picked up Scott at his home and arrested him without incident. Hoffman said they also found the gun used in the shooting and additional evidence.

Scott was charged with possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, two counts of aggravated menacing, criminal mischief and endangering the welfare of a child.

Bail information was not yet available Thursday morning.
