A 34-year-old man was arrested Tuesday after police say he fired an air gun toward several tree workers in Marstons Mills.
On the morning of New Year’s Eve, Barnstable police officers went to an area of Tanbark Road for reports of a bullet hole in a home window. Roughly 30 minutes after clearing the scene, the department received a 911 call reporting a man shooting what appeared to be a rifle at tree workers on Tanbark Road, police wrote in a statement posted to Facebook.
Arriving officers “made contact” with Kyle Stacey, 34, of Marstons Mills, who returned to his home. Police say they identified Stacey as the man who had been shooting at the tree workers.
Stacey initially refused to exit his home but was eventually taken into custody. After taking Stacey into custody, police searched his home and found .30 caliber projectiles, firearm cleaning tools and several air guns, according to the statement.
One of the airguns found in the home has the capability to fire both .25 and .30 caliber lead projectiles with compressed air, police said.
Stacey is set to be arraigned Thursday morning on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, vandalism and resisting arrest. He has been held on $15,000 cash bail since his arrest.
