A Hammond man is facing charges for shooting at a man repossessing his car, records allege.
Jeremy Palmer, 38, was charged Jan. 17 with armed robbery, attempted battery by means of a deadly weapon and pointing a firearm.
He’s in custody, held on a $6,000 cash surety bond. His next court date is Jan. 29.
Hammond Police responded Jan. 16 to the 2700 block of Cleveland Street.
The victim called 911.
The man said he was loading Palmer’s black Chrysler 300 onto a tow truck. Palmer ran out screaming, “Drop my (stuff).”
A woman gave Palmer the keys. He went into the car, pulled out a gun and fired one shot.
The victim released the car and took off. He told cops he heard a second shot as he was fleeing, but wasn’t hit.
