Man Arrested After Using Girlfriend's Photo For Target Practice And Shooting Into Neighbor's Home

STOCKTON (CBS13) - A 23-year-old Stockton man was arrested Wednesday after taking target practice using his girlfriend's photo and accidentally shooting into a nearby house, police said.

Officers went to a home in the 2500 block of Pemberton Court at 10:30 a.m. after residents there discovered a bullet hole in the back of their house.

Based on the bullet's trajectory, the officers determined the gunshot was fired from a backyard directly behind the residence.

Levon Davis was joking with his girlfriend and posted a photo of her onto a back fence and then took target practice with a rifle, according to the police report.

Davis didn't realize a bullet went through the fence and into the nearby house, police said.

He was arrested for negligent discharge of a firearm.
