    One man is in custody after firing both a shotgun and a handgun at a residence last week.
Kenneth Jay, 51, Verona, was arrested after Barry County deputies were dispatched to a residence on Farm Road 1190 in Aurora. According to the victim, Jay had fired a gun at the home, causing damage.
    Barry County Detective Doug Henry stated in the affidavit of probable cause that there were shotgun blasts and bullet holes in a barrel in front of the residence and the residence itself. In an interview with Henry, Jay admitted to shooting a shotgun and a .357 handgun at the house.
    Jay claimed that one of the occupants there had been causing him problems at his home and his place of employment and that he fired the shots to send a message.
    Jay was arrested on February 13 and is currently still held in the Barry County Jail on a $50,000 bond. He is charged with assault in the first degree, armed criminal action, unlawful use of a weapon, and property damage in the first degree.
