TRINITY — A 35-year-old Trinity man is facing an assault charge after an argument led to a shooting that forced law enforcement officials to call out the dogs.
Shyan Spikes is being held on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and may have additional charges filed, according to Trinity County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Jeremy Carroll.
Carroll said that on Wednesday, an altercation between Spikes and victim Jamie Driggers, 35, was reported. The reason was not known; however, Driggers reportedly drove past Spikes’ residence, and two shots were fired in Driggers’ direction.
The bullets hit Driggers and his vehicle, who then he went to a nearby house and asked for ambulance.
Carroll said that when law enforcement officers arrived at the scene of the attack, a witness told them about the shooting. Deputies began a search, which ended up in the Lake L subdivision.
From there, law enforcement officials set up a perimeter and called for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice tracking dogs. After a short period of time, as dogs were being deployed, Spikes came from 10-15 yards in woods and was arrested 700 block Darrell Hall Road, Carroll said.
The search lasted just under three hours. Carroll said Driggers, 35, was listed in stable condition at a hospital in Houston.
Also assisting in the investigation was the Trinity Police Department.
