Clinton County Grand Jury indicts man for allegedly firing gun at residence

0

WILMINGTON — A Clinton County Grand Jury has indicted a man on two counts of shooting “at or into” a local residence, with both counts a felony offense of the second degree (F2s).

Donte S. Captain, 27, whose address is listed as at-large, is indicted on the two counts of improperly discharging a firearm at or into a habitation, as well as on one count of having a weapon while under disability (F3).

That last charge alleges the defendant possessed a firearm, despite being prohibited from doing so because of a felony conviction in 2018 for possessing a drug of abuse.

The alleged shooting at or into a residence reportedly occurred on April 27. The indictment papers make no mention of any injury resulting from the alleged act.

At his initial court appearance, Captain pleaded not guilty to the charges. Bond was set then at $100,000 cash or court-approved surety (with a 10 percent bond not acceptable), plus a $10,000 own recognizance bond.

Two more pretrial hearings are scheduled, but if no plea agreement is reached between the public defender and prosecutor in the case, then a three-day jury trial is on the court docket for Aug. 3.
