A Harrogate, Tenn., man was arrested on Sunday in Bell County after allegedly acting recklessly with a firearm and firing shots in a neighborhood on Jenson Hollow Right Road.

According to the citation by KSP Trooper Miracle, dispatch received multiple calls just after 4:15 p.m. in regard to 45-year-old Brandon Brooks. Among those who called was a neighbor stating Brooks had discharged the firearm in her direction.

WRIL reports that once on the scene, KSP units were unable to locate Brooks or his girlfriend who had been with him. The girlfriend had an active EPO/VDO against Brooks, which he had violated by being in her presence. Witnesses on scene told troopers the pair had fled into the woods.

A short time later additional callers told KSP dispatch that Brooks was back in the area. Troopers made contact with Brooks’ girlfriend who handed over the firearm, a .22 caliber revolver, with two spent shells in the chamber.

The girlfriend stated that Brooks was inside the residence. Troopers found him inside and while he would not give a statement, based on the recovered firearm and witness statements, Brandon Brooks was arrested. While being walked to the KSP cruiser, Brooks continued to yell threats toward the neighbors.

He was lodged in the Bell County Detention Center charged with wanton endangerment – 1st degree – discharge of firearm, terroristic threatening – 3rd degree, and violation of a Kentucky EPO/DVO.
