Dispute Between Father And Son Leads To Arrests In Trussville

TRUSSVILLE, AL — A dispute between a father and son Sept. 9 led to shots being fired that fortunately did not cause any injuries. It did, however, result in charges being brought against both men.

Trussville police were called to the scene near the intersection of Roper Road at 7:59 a.m. Detectives talked to the father who said his son assaulted him and took his vehicle. The father said he pulled out his Smith and Wesson 9 mm and shot at the vehicle, trying to shoot out the rear tire. The vehicle was not struck, according to a Trussville Tribune report.

The son, David Anthony Booth, 24, of Trussville, was charged with domestic violence third degree. He is also charged with assault with a bodily fluid after Short said he spit on the arresting officer. David Booth bonded out of the Trussville City Jail on Sept. 12.

The father, 54-year-old Gary Dwayne Booth, was charged with discharging a firearm within the city limits.
