LEON COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) - A man was arrested by the Leon County Sheriff's Office Thursday night after hitting and shooting his sister's boyfriend with an AR rifle.
Robert Rought, 41, was arrested by LCSO on Thursday.
Thursday night around 8:55 p.m., deputies responded to a call on Sweet Grass Lane in regards to a shooting.
After interviewing witnesses on scene, deputies determined Rought and the victim got into a verbal argument inside the home about paying bills because of the victims's criminal past.
