Asheville -- A man who fired a gun Friday night was taken into custody by Asheville police.  Fortunately, just property damage has been reported, and no one was hurt. 

Around 6:37 p.m. on May 30, officers were called to the 300 block of Riverside Drive in reference to a person carrying a gun.  

When authorities arrived, they spoke with a number of people.  They found shot casings and a loaded pistol while searching the area. Officers concluded following their investigation that Kennith Wayen Hubert (02/20/1979) fired a weapon at least four times during a verbal altercation.  

He was arrested without incident and charged with both injury to personal property and discharge of a firearm within city limits.

Hubert was booked into the Buncombe County Detention Facility under a $1,000 (or $100 to a bondsman) secured bond issued by a magistrate.
