DeKalb County Sheriff Patrick Ray announced Tuesday, November 15 that a third arrest has been made in the case where a shot was fired which went through a residence near Alexandria earlier this month while the occupants were at home. Criminal charges have now been brought against three men who were reportedly road hunting for deer at the time.
41-year-old Jeremie Donald Johnson of Alexandria to Dismal Road, Liberty, 22-year-old Isaac Daniel Hall of Gassaway Main Street, Liberty, and 21-year-old Elijah Thomas Hall of Short Mountain Highway, Smithville are each charged with two counts of reckless endangerment and one count of vandalism.

Bond for Johnson is $50,000 and $60,000 for Isaac Hall. The bond for Elijah Hall is $25,000. All three will make a court appearance on December 1.
Sheriff Patrick Ray said that on November 5 after receiving a report from a resident on Lower Helton Road, Alexandria that someone had fired a shot through his home, sheriff’s department detectives started an investigation which pointed to two men, Johnson and Isaac Hall, who had allegedly fired a shot from the roadway while deer hunting which went through the residence where a man and woman were present placing them in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury. Although the residents were not injured from the shooting, more than $1,200 in vandalism was reported inside their home including damage to a window, interior walls, and a light fixture.
Johnson, a convicted felon for different offenses of aggravated assault in DeKalb and Wilson County, was found to be in possession illegally of several firearms upon his arrest on November 11.
Isaac Hall was also found to be in possession of several weapons at the time of his arrest on November 11 which the detectives learned were stolen from a residence either that day or the day before on Hurricane Ridge Road.
Sheriff Ray said the investigation revealed that Isaac Hall had broken into the home on Hurricane Ridge Road and taken a Remington 7-millimeter rifle, 22 caliber Ruger rifle, and a 50-caliber muzzleloader all valued at $3,900 which were all in Isaac Hall’s possession upon his arrest. The homeowner also reported missing from his home a 357 Magnum Remington.
Meanwhile, 44-year-old Arturo Alfaro Munoz of South Mountain Street, Smithville is charged with failure to appear. His bond is $1,500 and he will make a court appearance December 1. Sheriff Ray said that Munoz failed to report to the jail to serve his weekend sentence as ordered by the court.
