Dayton police arrested Timberling at 10:40 a.m. Tuesday in the 4500 block of Waymire Avenue following a shooting.
A witness told police that he took the gun from Timberling after hearing the arguing and the shot.
The gunshot victim, a 33-year-old Dayton man, was taken to a local hospital, where he told police that Timberling made violent sexual threats to his girlfriend.
When he confronted Timberling about the threats, he said Timberling got a handgun and shot him in the chest. The victim told police he suffered a broken rib and may require surgery to repair damage caused by the bullet.
Timberling is held on a $50,000 bond in the Montgomery County Jail. He is next due Feb. 12 in court for a preliminary hearing.
