Police have charged Danetrius Tolliver after officers said he kicked in the back door of a residence near Lake Chickamauga and afterward discharged a gun.

Tolliver wrecked his vehicle while leaving the scene, and he was taken into custody. A Smith & Wesson .40 caliber handgun was inside.
He told police he had gone to the residence to settle a dispute with Brandon Baldwin.
He said the gun accidentally went off when he tripped during the chase.
