Police: Drug dealer fires shots, injures woman in car
A woman suffered minor injury Friday after a disgruntled drug dealer fired shots, police said.
The 52-year-old woman and her 44-year-old boyfriend were driving along College Lane around 3:45 p.m. Friday, looking for his son, when a man unknown to them walked up and offered to sell them cocaine, said Statesboro Police Det. Kelphie Lundy.
When the male victim refused, telling the offender he wasn’t there to buy drugs and to get away from his car, the offender fired two shots, reports stated.
One bullet, which was recovered, entered the car’s door, went through the seat, grazed the female passenger and then lodged in the seat again, he said.
The woman was treated at the hospital and released. The incident is currently under investigation.
