A suspect in a drive-by shooting now has charges in federal court. James Clarence Maney was indicted by a grand jury for two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Maney has also been charged in state court with attempted first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

The charges are the result of a drive-by shooting last month

Maney surrendered at the Bradley County Sheriff’s Office after he was identified as one of the suspects in gunfire directed toward a home on 31^st Street. Sheriff’s investigators found eight rounds penetrated the side of the house, and two were in the mattress where the elderly resident was sleeping on the morning of the incident.

The federal court indictment cites two incidents where Maney was in possession of a firearm.

In November 2006 deputies from the sheriff’s office responded to Maney’s residence in response to calls of a domestic disturbance. During an investigation it was determined the incident was verbal but the female party in the disagreement alleged Maney had pointed a rifle toward her. The gun was seized.

Then on September 19 deputies were sent to 31^st Street to investigate damage from gunfire that narrowly missed the elderly resident. Maney and another person were subsequently charged with the crime.

At a detention hearing on Tuesday in federal court, Maney was remanded to the custody of the U.S. Marshall’s Service.
