An off duty deputy from Christian County has been charged with unlawful use of a weapon after allegedly firing his service revolver during a dispute with a woman near the Missouri/Kansas border Saturday.

Authorities in Crawford County, Kansas received a 9-1-1 call from a woman who told them that Brent W. Paoli fired two shots and ran into the woods. She told investigators that Paoli allegedly fired another shot from a 9 mm handgun at her vehicle as she drove away.

Officers at the scene heard a fourth shot a short time later, according to the Crawford County Sheriff’s Department.

About two hours later authorities received information that Paoli was in the area of the Mo-Kan Dragway on the Missouri side of the state line. A Kansas Highway Patrol chopper spotted him hiding near the speedway, where he was taken into custody by Jasper County authorities.

Paoli, who is a corporal and has been with department for almost four years, was placed on paid administrative leave while an internal investigation is conducted.

He was released from custody after posting $3,500 bond.

Christian County Sheriff Joey Kyle says Paoli is one of his better officers and that he has had no disciplinary issues with him.
