A Lexington man is charged with assault after police say he shot his wife in a dispute over antique furniture.

Police responded to a home on Bahama Road just before 9:30 p.m. Sunday. The scene was off Winchester Road near the Greenbrier Golf & Country Club.

A woman told police she was shot by her husband inside the home. Officers met her outside, where she was then taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Investigators said the shooting started as a domestic violence incident.

Police said the husband, Steven Meade, remained inside the home after officers arrived. Lexington activated it's Emergency Response Unit for the barricaded subject. Meade was taken into custody around 11:15 p.m. without incident.

Meade's arrest report states his wife came home and noticed scratches on her antique furniture. Meade denied causing the scratches despite his wife insisting that he did it. He claims he pulled out a revolver he keeps in his recliner and wanted to fire a shot to scare her, and he was unsure if he had struck her.

Meade was charged with assault. He had a not guilty plea entered for him in court Monday, and his next hearing will take place Aug. 6.
