Man Who Fired Shots Into Car Pleads Guilty To Assault
A man charged with firing three
shots into a car in Lcland pleaded
guilty to assault with a deadly
weapon last week when his case
was heard in Brunswick County
District Court.
Duncan Eric Flowers, 25, of Tay
lorsvillc, was charged Feb. 22 by
Brunswick County Sheriff's Detec
tive Kevin Holdcn with discharging
a firearm into an occupied vehicle.
He was accused of firing shots from
a ,38-caIibcr automatic pistol into a
car occupicd by Kenneth Elton
Hooper on Village Road in Lcland.
In District Court last week. Judge
Jerry A. Jolly gave Flowers a two
year suspended sentence and placed
him on two years' supervised pro
bation. The defendant was also
fined S200 and ordered to pay S500
in restitution to Hooper, to not go
about the victim for two years and
to not violate any laws for two
years.
The shooting stemmed from an
argument the two men had over a
girlfriend, Holdcn said.
Wilmington police charged Hoop
er, of Lcland, with first-degree bur
glary after he allegedly broke into an
apartment in Wilmington where
Flowers was staying, Holdcn said.
Flowers then allegedly followed
Hooper back to Lcland where the
shooting occurred at a stop sign on
Village Road.
