A Vashon man was booked into jail last weekend and could face charges after shooting a gun in a suspected drug house.

The man, a 38-year-old Vashon resident, entered a house on the 16000 block of 109th Avenue SW at about 7 p.m. Saturday. He demanded drugs from those in the home, argued with them and pointed a gun at them, according to DB Gates, a spokeswoman for the King County Sheriff’s Office. There were at least three other adults in the home at the time.

Gates said the man fired his gun once and the bullet hit the ground near the foot of another man. No one was injured.

For years islanders who live on 109th Avenue, behind the Vashon Airport, have struggled with what they have called frequent criminal activity at a suspected drug house on that road. Earlier this year the man who lived there, Richard Grant, was convicted of two counts of possession of methamphetamine and sentenced to nearly two years in prison, prompting some neighbors to say they were hopeful problems at the house might end.

While the sheriff’s office gave only the block of the incident, a neighbor who asked not to be identified confirmed that the incident happened at Grant’s former home. The home is owned by Grant’s mother.

The suspect was arrested and booked into jail on investigation of assault and investigation of robbery. Gates said the home was not searched for drugs because the victims were not under investigation for any crime.
