• An investigation of shots being fired at a city residence this week led to a Mount Airy man being charged with driving while impaired and having an open container of alcohol, according to police department reports. Adrian Tyler West, a 17-year-old resident of Peacehaven Circle, reported Monday afternoon that someone had fired a handgun into the ground toward him. This is said to have occurred at the home of Jimmy Gregory “Wolfman” Pike Sr. at 112 Westwood Drive-B.

At one point, Pike, 45, approached investigating officers in his car and an open container of alcohol was noticed in the 1996 Toyota Camry, police records state. He also allegedly performed poorly on subsequent field-sobriety tests and later was found to have a blood-alcohol content of .14 percent. Pike was released on a written promise to appear in Surry District Court on Aug. 7. There was no indication of any charges being filed regarding the shooting.
