North Brookfield resident charged with reckless endangerment after discharging weapon toward person
On April 3, 2018, Madison County Sheriff’s Office investigators arrested Russell S. Bellair, 42, of 9247 Main St., North Brookfield, and charged him with first-degree reckless endangerment (a class D felony), second-degree menacing (a class A misdemeanor) and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon (a class A misdemeanor).
It is alleged that Bellair and another man engaged in a physical dispute at Bellair’s residence. At one point during the dispute, Bellair grabbed his shotgun and pointed the weapon at the man’s head. The man pushed the barrel of the gun away when Bellair fired the gun and ran from the residence; as he was running, Bellair shot at him a second time.
The man was not struck by either of the two shots and was not injured.
Bellair was arraigned in Hamilton Town Court and remanded to the Madison County Jail in lieu of $2,500 cash bail or $5,000 bond.
He is scheduled to return to Hamilton Town Court at court at a later date to answer the charges.
