A Schuylkill County man was arrested recently for shooting blanks.

According to State Police in Schuylkill Haven, they arrested 46-year-old Clayton Bixler, of Hegins Township, back on Halloween night, just past 7.

Police say they were called to the scene because Bixler was seen wielding a shotgun near a property on E. Chestnut St. in Hegins Township.

Bixler allegedly fired a pair of blank rounds from his shotgun toward a roadway and other houses and police took him into custody.
