Frederick B. Davis, 62, was charged with one count of aggravated discharge of a weapon and one count of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, according to Evanston police.

Officers responded to a call of shots fired about noon Nov. 10 in the 1800 block of Dodge Avenue, Commander Ryan Glew said.

About two hours later, Davis was taken into custody without incident and no injuries were reported.
