PARIS TWP. A Minerva area man was driving drunk when he fired several shots at people late Tuesday night in a trailer park where he lives, according to jail reports.

Raymond C. Pickenpaugh, 64, of 14000 Lincoln St. E, No. 85, was arrested at 11:30 p.m. near his home after he was seen driving a vehicle "on a private roadway intended for public use," Stark County Jail records show.

He had already lost his license due to a prior conviction for driving while under the influence of alcohol, the jail records said.

Stark County Sheriff's deputies who pulled him over found an open container of beer in the vehicle, records show. Deputies said he had also fired several rounds at people in the area.

The jail records said Pickenpaugh told deputies that he had just drunk several beers and "that he is a chronic alcoholic."

Pickenpaugh was jailed on charges of felony OVI, driving under suspension, using weapons while intoxicated, open container, having weapons under disability and two counts of felonious assault.

He remained in the jail early Wednesday, held in lieu of $76,000 bond pending a Canton Municipal Court hearing.
