A Muldrow man is facing two assault and battery with a deadly weapon charge after allegedly shooting another Muldrow man during a dispute near Muldrow.

Justin Ed Davis, 42, was charged with the assault charge, along with another count of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, Nov. 7 in Sequoyah County District Court in Sallisaw after being arrested Oct. 29.

According to court records, Roger Fuller, a Sequoyah County Sheriff's investigator, and sheriff's deputies received a call at about 3 a.m. Oct. 29 to go to Davis' home west of Muldrow, where Chris Collins of Muldrow had been shot.

Statements from witnesses and evidence from two crimes were taken. Fuller reported that apparently on Oct. 28, Davis and Collins and his father, David Collins, were drinking together at the Collins' home when David Collins and Davis got in a fight.

Davis allegedly hit David Collins with a rifle, breaking his arm. David Collins went to Sequoyah Memorial Hospital in Sallisaw for treatment.

In the early morning on Oct. 29, Chris Collins allegedly became upset about Davis breaking his father's arm and went to Davis' home about a quarter mile down the road. He allegedly took a 20-gauge shotgun and shot at close range through the front door of the Davis home.

Davis was in his home when the incident occurred. Fuller reported that Chris Collins thought Davis wasn't home and went back to his father's home. Davis then took his rifle and returned to the Collins' home and met Chris Collins in the front yard and shot him in the shoulder.

Chris Collins was transported to Sequoyah Memorial Hospital in Sallisaw, and Davis was transported to the county jail, where he was released Oct. 29 on a $20,500 bond.
