A Starkville man has been arrested in Clay County after he allegedly shot at a home and vehicle last week.
Franklin Young, 35, has been charged with aggravated assault and shooting into a dwelling, according to a Clay County Sheriff’s Office press release. The release said deputies were called to the shooting on Walker Gin Road in western Clay County on May 14, where investigators discovered two bullets had been fired into the home and one into a vehicle parked at the residence.
