State Senator Virgil Smith was taken into custody Sunday after an alleged shooting at his home.
Detroit Police Chief James Craig says a shotgun was fired at a Mercedes-Benz outside Smith’s home, but would not say who did the shooting.
The vehicle is owned by Smith’s ex-wife, who is also currently his girlfriend.
No one was hurt in the shooting.
The Detroit News reports a police source, who asked to not be identified, says Smith fired shots at the car following a domestic dispute.
Smith is a member of the Democratic party who represents Senate District 4 that stretches from northern Detroit to Southgate.
