A weekend at Lake Greenbelt ended with time in the Donley County Jail for three Amarillo men Sunday morning.
Chief Deputy Randy Bond said the Donley County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of gunfire at the lake about 7:30 a.m. One man was shooting a sawed-off shotgun in the air, and another was firing a pistol in the air.
Jason Jones, age 32, and Michael Darter, age 30, were both charged with deadly conduct. Darter and a third man, 30-year-old Zacharia Warren, were also charged with possession of marijuana.
Bond said the men had started shooting because they said they had “become irritated with each other.”
“It was a real dangerous situation,” Bond said. “There were kids around, and it was getting out of hand in a hurry.”
In addition to Bond, Deputy Mike Spier and the Greenbelt Lake Patrol’s Ray Burch and Faylon Watson responded to the call.
