Man Guilty Of Shooting Repo Worker

Ohio County, WV --

A jury found a man guilty of attempting to murder two workers sent to repossess his furniture.

Charlie Brown was found guilty of firing shots at two Rent-A-Center employees when they came to repossess his television set and furniture in Triadelphia.

One of the men was struck by a bullet and took the stand to tell his story.

"The first one went right here, in my shoulder, and ricocheted up into here and down into my chest and fractured six of my ribs. I actually have the bullet in my ribs. They couldn't remove it," he said.

Even though the bullet hit him last October, he still has mental anguish.

"I have nightmares - sometimes flashbacks of it," he said.

The victim said he is afraid to go out in public, making it difficult to spend time with his family.

"My wife and kids and mom went to the fireworks this year, but I didn't go because I don't like being around big crowds of people," he said.

On the stand, the victim told jurors he's thankful he's alive, but it has been a slow recovery. He now has to wear an arm brace to use his hand.

"I can't do half the stuff I used to do, and when I do do it, it's that much harder trying to do it with one arm," he said.

The other witness testified Brown put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger. He was not shot, but did hear the click of the gun.
