Police were called to a neighborhood after someone called 911 saying a man was firing a rifle toward an overpass.

21-year-old Phillip Joseph Popoff was charged with firing a spring gun.

Forty-seven-year-old Bryan Allen Matzke is charged with trespassing. A police report says Popoff told officers they were shooting at birds at the overpass with the Daisy BB gun they had purchased from a pawn shop earlier Tuesday.
