When he turned the axe on the front door of the home, the home owner shot through the door hitting Childress in the arm.
Childress fled the scene and later wrecked his car at the corner of Highway 205 and Pleasant Grove Road. The vehicle ran through a fence and did damage to three boats at a for sale boat lot.
