Coffman admitted to firing his weapon, claiming he aimed in the air to scare the victims. However, an HPD Officer observed a bullet hole in the victims’ vehicle’s bumper, contradicting Coffman’s statement. Coffman was charged with Wanton Endangerment, 1st Degree. The Christian County Sheriff’s Office thanks the Hopkinsville Police Department for their assistance in this incident.
