An Eastwood Street man was charged with domestic violence Sunday after he allegedly fired a shotgun into the glass door of a residence.

Deputies were called to the Eastwood Street residence by a woman at around 6 a.m. The woman said she and her estranged husband argued and, as a result, she locked him out of the house, the incident report said.

She said her estranged husband went to his vehicle, where he retrieved a shotgun, the report said.

He then walked to the rear of the house and blasted out a sliding glass door with the weapon, the report said. Deputies noted pellets had peppered the interior of the living room.

The woman was not struck.

The 54-year-old man said he didn’t know where the woman was inside the home when he fired the shotgun. He said his only intention was to gain entry into the house, the report said.
