A Jefferson City man has been charged with first-degree felony endangering the welfare of a child following an incident Thursday night.
Dean McBaine, 30, also is charged with felony unlawful use of a weapon and misdemeanor assault in this case.
The incident occurred around 11:45 p.m. in the 200 block of Pierce Street, according to a Jefferson City Police Department probable cause statement.
Officers were called out for a disturbance where it was reported McBaine, who was intoxicated, had fired shots inside the residence that traveled into the room of a child.
A woman at the residence said she was lying in bed with her 2-year-old child when McBaine came into the bedroom in a "violent rage." She said McBaine threw a TV on top of her and the child.
At this time, the woman said, a friend intervened and began fighting with McBaine. She and the child ran out of the house, and as she was running, she heard three gunshots from inside the residence. She claimed McBaine had fired a gun through the ceiling and into her 13 -year-old stepson's room. The woman said the boy was asleep at the time this occurred. He eventually was escorted out of the home by the woman's friend and her brother. She then left the area with her children.
Officers found four bullet holes in the ceiling of the bedroom where the 13-year-old had been, along with a bullet hole in the wall above the bed. Three shell casings also were found.
McBaine had a multi-state criminal history, according to court documents.
