A 66-year-old Manchester farmer has been charged for shooting a man during an argument at a bar in Mandeville.
Donald Salmon is charged with wounding with intent, possession of a prohibited weapon, unauthorized possession of ammunition, using a firearm to commit a felony, and carrying a firearm without lawful authorization.
The incident happened on Tuesday, January 6.
Reports from the Mandeville police are that about 8:50 p.m., Salmon was among patrons at the bar when an altercation developed between him and another man.
It is being alleged that during the quarrel, Davis removed a firearm from his waistband, pointed it at the man, and opened fire, hitting him.
He then escaped on foot in the area.
The injured man was taken to hospital, where he was admitted.
On Friday, January 16, Davis turned himself in to the police.
He was subsequently charged following a question-and-answer session in the presence of his attorney.
His court date is being finalised.
