JASON C. WOODS, 42, was given a deferred sentence May 22 for possession of a deadly weapon with unlawful intent. District Judge James M. “Mike” Causey gave him two years of supervised probation and a $325 fine. Woods was accused of pulling a gun on a man and putting the barrel in that man’s mouth, chipping his tooth. Woods allegedly entered his daughter’s room when he suspected a man was in there. Woods found a 19-year-old man in the closet and shoved an olive green-and-black 9mm pistol into the man’s mouth then escorted him out of the house through the front door, keeping the gun in his mouth. He then allegedly pointed the gun at his daughter and said “you’re lucky I’m not mad enough to shoot you” then lowered the gun and sent her to her room. While talking with police, Woods corrected the officer’s summary of events and said he didn’t point the gun at them, but “At him. I stuck it in his mouth, literally.” He said he didn’t remember pointing the gun at his daughter. Woods said he had learned of men sneaking into the home and said that he then kept the gun unloaded in order to scare off whomever was entering the house. When interviewed, the 19-year-old told police it was “understandable. I would have reacted the same way.” The officer got a photo of the man’s chipped tooth, according to court documents.
