The 19-year-old New London man who allegedly shot at another vehicle earlier this week is being held on $100,000 cash bond.
Austin D. Merryfield was charged with attempted homicide, reckless endangerment, discharging a firearm towards a vehicle, carrying a concealed weapon, criminal damage to property and disorderly conduct.
According to reports police found a bullet hole near the front passenger door of the truck that was shot at, which penetrated about a half inch into the frame.
A bullet fragment was found in the east lane of Shawano street. Merryfield was reportedly with his mother when he allegedly fired the gun out of the vehicle. He had told her it was a cap gun, and was pulling a prank, according to the report.
Merryfield told investigators that the weapon had been a .22 caliber handgun with a brown handle, but he claims to have thrown in into a body of water, and police have not yet found the weapon.
