Hobby leads to arrest
Stanley Reinhold was at his home when he heard an unusual sound.
Reinhold found pieces of broken wood molding on the floor and observed damage to the inside of the window facing east.
While on his deck, he noticed a hole in the screen and window frame, concluded it was a bullet hole, then called 911.
During his emergency call, Reinhold could hear what he described as gunshots in the distance.
Within four minutes of the dispatch, an officer arrived and found a neighbor's guests engaged in shooting rifles and handguns.
Police charged Craig Graham Jacobus, 60.
Jacobus was hosting a party at his home with about 40 guests ranging in age from "infant to elderly."
Guests were using metal can lids and watermelons as shooting targets, the records say.
Police found a number of rounds of shotgun ammunition, a large number of expended casings from a 9mm handgun and a high-powered rifle at Jacobus' home.
From where the targets were located, police could see traffic and school athletic fields.
Jacobus and three others who had been shooting were taken to police headquarters to be interviewed.
The four told police they were shooting an AR (5.56 mm rifle), an AK (97.62X39 rifle), and a Glock (9mm handgun).
The four said they believed they were shooting in a "safe manner".
Jacobus said he has been hosting this type of party for the last 10 years.
