CHOCTAW COUNTY, Okla. (KXII) -- An Unger man is in jail after Choctaw County Deputies say he shot his neighbor who was checking on him Tuesday.

Deputies say a man and his wife went to check on 54-year-old Billy Samis, but when they knocked on his door, he started yelling at them and told them to get off of his property.

As they were leaving, deputies say Samis grabbed a shotgun and shot the man, hitting the side of his chest and arm. The victim and his wife told deputies Samis appeared to be under the influence.

Samis was later pulled over by an OHP trooper who placed him under arrest for DWI and possession of a firearm while intoxicated. The Choctaw County Sheriff's Office says Samis also faces a charge of shooting with intent to kill.

We're told the neighbor is being treated at Choctaw Memorial Hospital and that he is expected to live.
