A man who said he had a fishhook "embedded in his buttocks" allegedly fired shots to get police attention Monday morning, according to a release from the Frederick Police Department.
The release says police responded to a noise complaint in the 200 block of East Patrick Street shortly before 9:30 a.m. A complainant said the man living in the rear entrance of the apartment, Charles Akin Rempe, had been making a lot of noise for several hours.
Rempe told police he had been hiding in his closet because he had a "fishhook embedded in his buttocks." He also told police he had fired shots to attract police attention. Rempe was placed in handcuffs and taken to Frederick Memorial Healthcare for evaluation, according to the release.
The release says evidence shows multiple gunshots were fired inside the apartment and a loaded .45 caliber semiautomatic pistol was also found. One round went through a side window and lodged in the brick wall of an adjacent building. No one was injured.
Criminal charges are pending.
