A Sequoyah County man was arrested on various firearm-related charges recently following a dispute between neighbors.

Sheriff Johnny Philpot reported that sheriff's deputies responded to a report of shots being fired at a home located northeast of Sallisaw Aug. 26.

Apparently an argument over the use of one party's land by the other escalated into a physical altercation and then into shots being fired, Philpot reported.

Travis Wayne McWilliams of Sallisaw was arrested as a result of the initial investigation.

McWilliams, 26, was booked into the Sequoyah County Jail in Sallisaw on charges of drive-by shooting, shooting with intent to kill, and transporting a loaded firearm. McWilliams was released on a $25,000 bond.

Philpot reported that, pending further investigation, additional arrests are expected in the case.
