VIDEO: Man who allegedly shot at neighbor, Kanawha County deputies identified

KANAWHA COUNTY, WV (WOWK) — A man accused of shooting at his neighbor and then at deputies earlier this month had his bond reduction request denied Monday afternoon.

Chase Nelson, 32, of Charleston is being held in the South Central Regional Jail on a $250,000 cash-only bond, the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation website shows.

Nelson’s case will now go to the grand jury and the circuit court can deal with bond adjustments.

According to the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office, Nelson shot at his neighbor around three times on June 7. They said Nelson lived on McCubbin Drive, which is adjacent to Coonskin Drive.

Deputies took cover behind a building and heard Nelson say a phrase at which point he shot twice toward the deputies, the criminal complaint said. The deputies were escorted to safety with an armored vehicle, according to the Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office.

With the help of SWAT Team Operators and the armored vehicle, Nelson was taken into custody. No injuries are being reported, according to the sheriff’s office.
