Jackson County Sheriff's deputies arrested Gary Wayne Rodgers around 12:24 p.m. Monday after taking a report of shots fired in the 300 block of Fee Street. According to a probable cause statement filed in Jackson County Circuit Court, Rodgers' brother told dispatchers that Rodgers, 67, had shot at his truck with a rifle as he was backing out onto the street.  Gary Rodgers told deputies that his brother had threatened to kill Rodgers' girlfriend, but the brother denied that Gary Rodgers even had a girlfriend. Rodgers later told deputies that he was mad at his brother because he had taken two of his guns away from him, the affidavit says. According to the affidavit, the bullet hit the right side of the truck, entering the frame between the back door and back window and exiting through the window. Deputies were unable to determine where the bullet finally ended up. Rodgers was booked in the Jackson County Jail on charges of unlawful use of a weapon, menacing,  second-degree disorderly conduct, first-degree criminal mischief and three counts of recklessly endangering. A district attorney's information filed today formally charges Rodgers with unlawful use of a weapon, attempted first-degree assault and attempted second-degree assault. Rodgers, who has no prior felony convictions in Oregon, is being held on $29,000 bail and was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon. — Thomas Moriarty MailTribune.com Writer Posted Apr. 28, 2015 @ 4:02 pm » Comment or view comments   /* $( document ).ready(function() { // Jquery mobile is trying to style the button and leaving a blank gry button on top of a white button $("#viafouracoms .vf-comment-controls li.vf-right").html(' Submit '); });*/ »  STAY INFORMED   Email NewsLetter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. calendar Connect with MailTribune.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services Home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Announcements Obituaries Story ideas Since you asked Alerts Email Alerts RSS Feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Stay Informed   Email newsletter   Sign Up Today   Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
