NATCHEZ — A Natchez man was arrested Saturday after allegedly shooting into an apartment and injuring a woman.
Tranthony Roelly Williams, 26, 201 Lumber St., Apt. 703, was arrested on charges of aggravated assault manifesting extreme indifference to a life.
The incident Williams was arrested in connection with happened Friday evening at Cedarhurst Apartments, Natchez Police Sgt. Craig Godbold said.
Williams and the victim reportedly got into an argument, though it is unclear what the argument was about, Godbold said.
“Some witnesses told us it was about money, but we’re not sure,” he said.
During the course of the argument, the victim reportedly told Williams to leave the apartment.
When Williams went outside, he allegedly pulled a pistol out and fired it once into the apartment, Godbold said.
The bullet reportedly entered the apartment through a window, passed through a set of blinds and struck the victim in the leg, Godbold said.
The victim was taken to a local hospital, treated and released.
Williams and the victim reportedly have some kind of ongoing relationship, but police were not able to determine its nature, Godbold said.
Williams is being detained without bond.
He is scheduled to make an initial court appearance this morning.
