Police arrested Eric Neely, 23, of Holly Hill on Thursday after he confessed to firing a shot at James Blich's truck when Blich was trying to take a pit bull away from Neely's home

HOLLY HILL — A disagreement over the ownership of a shared dog on Thursday led to a shooting and a school lockdown in Holly Hill when one man didn't want to let the dog go, according to police.

Police arrested Eric Neely, 23, of Holly Hill after he confessed to firing a shot at James Blich's truck when Blich was trying to take a pit bull away from Neely's 1612 Montgomery Ave. home.

Who actually owns the dog — Neely or Blich — is unclear, as is the pup's name, unmentioned in the police report. Blich, who used to live at the house, says the dog is his, that he visits and feeds it, even though he could not take it with him when he moved away, the report states. Neely, who, according to the report, has been housing the animal for six months, said the pup is his.

But the incident began when Blich went to visit the dog at Neely's house a little after 1 p.m. Thursday.

According to a charging affidavit, Neely agreed to let Blich walk the pup, but balked when Blich asked to take the animal for a ride in his truck. When Neely went back into the house, according to the report, Blich loaded the pup into his vehicle anyway and began driving toward the street's dead end.

As Blich turned around to head toward Flomich Street, Neely's brother alerted him to the situation and Neely came out of his house with a .45-caliber handgun and shot toward the vehicle, the report states. Blich then sped up past the house and called 9-1-1 to report the shooting.

Neely also called 9-1-1, to report a stolen dog.

Holly Hill police arrived at the scene and, after questioning Blich, Neely, his brother and a neighbor who witnessed the incident and, according to the report, hearing Neely admit to shooting at Blich's vehicle, they arrested Neely on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Holly Hill Police Chief Steven Aldrich said no one was injured, but there was a temporary lockdown at Holly Hill School before Neely was arrested.

""During the course of our initial police response to this reported shooting call, the local public school was very briefly placed on a precautionary lock down," Aldrich said in an email. "There were no injuries reported and nothing was hit by the fired bullet."

Neely was in custody at the Volusia County Branch Jail on Thursday. His bail was set at $10,000.
