A Greenfield man has been arrested after firing a gun from inside his garage Thursday night. 

According to the Greenfield Police Department, officers responded to a call of shots fired Thursday night in the 600 block of Sedgewick Lane. 

Upon arrivals, Eugene Hopkins told officers he was in an attached garage with the door closed when he heard gunshots outside. Hopkins then fired at least one bullet through the closed garage door to scare people away before waiting an hour to call 911 to report the incident. 

Detectives and evidence technicians were able to locate a fired bullet outside the garage door in the driveway and there was no evidence anyone fired a gun outside or towards Hopkins' house, according to officers. 

Hopkins, who was under the influence of alcohol at the time of the shooting, was then arrested on suspicion of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon and was booked into the Hancock County Jail. Officers recovered multiple weapons from inside the residence and took them into evidence. 

There were no injuries in the shooting.
