JACKSON, Tenn. — A man was arraigned Wednesday in Jackson City Court after court documents say he shot at another man Saturday in a downtown Jackson parking lot.

Alfred Scott

Alfred Scott, 48, is charged with reckless endangerment and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Witnesses told police they saw a man wearing a green jacket and black hat with a gray goatee near Community Tire shoot at a man in the parking lot of Abel’s Way on North Highland Avenue, according to court documents.

Witnesses told police the man left the scene on a bicycle.

Court documents say police identified Scott as the person who fired the shot and searched his Cedar Street home.
