Man charged after property dispute ends in gunfire at Butler Twp. motel

Avery took property belonging to two others and fired a pistol at or near a third person, according to Vandalia Municipal Court records.

Butler Twp. police officers responded around 5:40 a.m. Thursday to the Motel 6 on Miller Lane on a report of shots fired in one of the rooms.

“It appears there may have been a dispute over property and as a result of the dispute, one of the subjects discharged a gun through the motel room window from inside the room,” read a media release from last week.

No one was injured and the property taken was recovered, police said.

A suspect, later identified as Avery, was found in the area on foot and detained.

Avery remains held on $250,000 bond in the Montgomery County Jail.
