Police: Colfax man thinks someone is in shower, shoots it

A Colfax man is facing a discharging a firearm charge after he shot at the shower in his hotel room because he thought someone was hiding there, according to police.

Otilio J. Dejesus, 65, was booked into the Rapides Parish Detention Center Tuesday morning after Alexandria police received a report about the incident. The hotel clerk told officers that Dejesus had come to the front desk, saying he had fired his gun after thinking someone had entered his room and had hidden in the shower.

Officers seized the gun, according to the release. There were no injuries, but the shower area was damaged.
