DUCHESNE COUNTY -- A Duchesne County man officials characterize as "paranoid" is facing charges for firing a gun at a man driving past his house.
Deputies say 72-year-old Clyde Wayne Thomas also fired a shot at them when they came to his house to investigate the shooting Friday morning.
They say it appeared Thomas had booby trapped his property in several places and, at first, did not believe the deputies were actually law enforcement.
The man Thomas fired upon was slightly injured. The bullet fragmented as it entered his car, cutting his head.
The Deseret News reports Thomas is now charged with attempted murder and discharge of a firearm.
