At the time of writing, Adams was in the Montgomery County Jail.
Adams’ charges stem from an incident on Aug. 22, when Montgomery County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the apartment on a report of shots fire.
A resident said that Adams came into the apartment with a handgun and accused him and his friends of breaking into Adams’ home, according to an affidavit filed in Vandalia Municipal Court. He also told deputies that Adams several times said he would kill them if he didn’t get his money.
The affidavit said that when the dog started to growl at Adams, he shot it. The dog then ran to the back of the apartment.
A neighbor went to investigate after hearing gunfire and saw Adams with the gun.
“(The neighbor) stated Adams accused him of stealing his items, too, and attempted to have him come inside the apartment,” the affidavit read.
The neighbor denied knowing anything about the theft and went back to his apartment to call 911.
Deputies found Adams when they arrived and took him into custody. He reportedly got rid of the gun, which deputies found in some nearby woods.
