PALESTINE - A 56-year-old man remains in Anderson County Jail on a $10,000 bond on an attempted murder charge after a dispute over the quality of a piece of chicken, authorities said.
Palestine Assistant Police Chief Mike Medders said Albert Norris Anderson Jr., 56, allegedly shot Charles Edward Barrett, 54, in the foot with a 16-gauge shotgun for insulting the quality of his chicken. Barrett was taken to Palestine Regional Medical Center for treatment. Medders said he is recovering.
The shooting took place at 11:50 a.m. Sunday in the front yard of a residence at the 400 block of Texas Avenue.
A resident at the home called 911, Medders said.
Anderson lives across the street from the place the incident took place, he said.
Medders said Barrett was "insulting" Anderson's chicken and reportedly using expletives toward Anderson.
Medders said the residence has been the location of other disturbances in the past.
