BIG LAKE, Alaska (AP) - A Big Lake man suspected of firing a gun at the home of a neighbor has been charged with felony assault.

Alaska State Troopers say 38-year-old Brandon Schatz is being held without bail at Mat-Su Pretrial Facility.

Troopers just after 10 p.m. Thursday took a call of a disturbance and responded to a Big Lake home.



Investigators say Schatz had fired a handgun five times at a neighbor. No one was injured in the incident.

He’s charged with six counts of felony assault, five counts of felony weapons misconduct tied to firing a weapon at a dwelling, and one count of misdemeanor weapons misconduct tied to firing a weapon while intoxicated.

Online court records Friday did not indicate Schatz was represented by an attorney.
