The homeowner, 53, told authorities that a 34-year-old woman had been staying at his home. He said her boyfriend came to the house unannounced. The homeowner claimed that he came to the door with a handgun and asked the boyfriend to leave, authorities said.
The woman willingly left with the boyfriend, 41, which is when the homeowner claimed to have fired several warning shots into the air as they drove away, authorities said.
