A Somerset man is lodged in the Pulaski County Detention Center, charged with three counts of first degree wanton endangerment after he fired a handgun inside a residence on Saturday, July 12.

Steven G. Allen, 34, was arrested by the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Department after he fired a handgun “at and near” two adult females and one eight-year-old female inside a house on First Street in Science Hill, the sheriff’s department says.

One of the adult females was Allen’s girlfriend.

Allen had left the residence after firing the shots, but he returned while Sheriff’s Deputy Steve Molen was investigating the scene.

A detention center spokesman said Allen remained there Tuesday evening. He is being held on a $25,000 cash or property bond.
