AXIS, Alabama -- A man shot his neighbor, then called 911, according to Mobile County Sheriff's Lt. Paul Burch.

Burch said they received a call about 1 p.m. Wednesday, and officers responded to a home on North Forest Drive.

Burch said Michael Glenn was inside his home when he heard something outside and saw that his neighbor, 54-year-old Darrell Ellison, was in his backyard.

When Glenn went outside and told his neighbor to get out, Ellison advanced toward him, mumbling incoherently, Burch said.

After repeated requests to stop advancing, according to Burch, Glenn shot Ellison in his right arm.

"Glenn is the one who called 911 and told the dispatcher what had happenend," Burch said. Deputies found Ellison in his own home "running bathwater and speaking incoherently," Burch said.

Ellison was transported to a local hospital.

Burch said no arrests were made and the case will be presented to the District Attorney's Office.

Mobile County Metro Jail records show Ellison has a long criminal record, with charges including possession of marijuana, possession of narcotic equipment, public intoxication, first-degree robbery, and driving under the influence.

Glenn has no criminal record, according to Burch.
