Kerr County man facing multiple charges after firing gun inside home

A Kerr County man was arrested last week on numerous charges after firing shots within a residence.  Kerr County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the 100 block of Short Line Drive in Center Point on November 14, after a “distressed female caller” reported that a male suspect was firing a hunting rifle within a home.  Upon arriving at the residence, it was discovered that the suspect, identified as Zeferino Arreola Lopez, 41, of Center Point had left the residence in a pickup truck with a .30-06 hunting rifle.

Investigators of the Special Operations Division were able to identify the vehicle and locate the vehicle traveling on FM 480.  A tactical plan was improvised, and the vehicle was followed to the 200 block of Tremper Trail in Center Point.  A vehicle stop was conducted on Lopez, and he was safely detained without incident.

Lopez was transported to the Kerr County Sheriff’s Office for a custodial interview by the Criminal Investigations Division.  During the interview, according to authorities, Lopez confessed to damaging two vehicles prior to the shooting.  It is believed alcohol may have played a role in this incident.  Lopez was charged with three counts of Deadly Conduct, a third-degree felony, one felony count of Criminal Mischief, and one count of misdemeanor criminal Mischief.  Bond has not been set.
