The Middlesboro Police have provided more details to this story and state in a release that the call came into dispatch at 12:16pm on Tuesday June 4, 2019 from 47 year old George Fisher's estranged wife Charlene Fisher claiming he had shot at her and another person, identified in a citation as John McDowell. She also stated he then left the residence. Officers responded to the Gordon Lane residence to begin the investigation.
The release continues to state that officers on scene collected physical evidence and statements from independent witnesses and victims that led to Fisher's arrest at 2019 1/2 Cumberland Avenue, near his business the Middlesborough Pawn Shop.
