Police say a man was shot in Roselawn last week due to “an argument over a dog” and the use of “disrespectful” language.

John Baird, 62, is charged with tampering with evidence and two counts of felonious assault.

Baird is accused of shooting Gabriel Brace in the buttocks after a verbal dispute inside Baird's home on May 12.

Police said Baird confessed to the shooting and also threw the .22 caliber firearm down a steep hill after the incident.

Baird was arrested the same day as the incident. He is being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on $50,000 bond. He will be arraigned in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Friday.
