A 19-year-old man in St. Thomas is facing charges after police say he got into a drunken argument with his brother and reportedly fired gunshots into his bedroom wall.
City police say they responded to a southeast area home, after getting a 911 call from his 27-year-old brother around 4 p.m. Thursday.
Officers surrounded the home, and say a suspect was arrested without incident when he tried to leave the house on a bicycle.
Investigators say the suspect is alleged to have been drunk at the time of the incident, and that he went into his bedroom after an argument.
