Arrest made in drive-by shooting at 'Duck Dynasty' star Willie Robertson's estate
Louisiana authorities arrested a man in connection with a Friday afternoon drive-by shooting involving the estate of "Duck Dynasty" star Willie Robertson.
The Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office in Monroe, Louisiana, charged Daniel King Jr., 38, with one count of aggravated assault by drive by shooting and one count of criminal neglect of family and booked into OCC. Bond was set at $150,000.
Deputies responded around 2:30 p.m. Friday to a report of someone shooting from a vehicle in the 3300 block of Arkansas Road in West Monroe, Louisiana.
The property belongs to Robertson. According to Robertson, one of the shots went through the bedroom window of the home where son John Luke Robertson lives with his wife Mary Kate McEachern and their infant child, but nobody in the family was injured.
"We were pretty shook up," Robertson said in a Sunday interview with USA Today Network. "It looks like they were just spraying bullets across my property." Robertson said 8-10 shots were fired.

Robertson said many members of the family are living at his and wife Korie's home during the coronavirus crisis, among them daughter Sadie Robertson, who also starred on "Dancing with the Stars," and her new husband Christian Huff.
"Nobody was outside at the time, but everybody had been out about five minutes before," Robertson said. "I had just gone to the store when it happened."
The property and houses on it are behind a fence and gate and located far off of the road.
Witnesses said several gunshots were fired from a vehicle, and two homes were hit.
Witnesses described the vehicle as a white over brown or beige Ford F-250 with large aftermarket tires and rims. The vehicle was captured on a surveillance camera.
Other occupants were in the vehicle, but a description is not available. According to the OPSO, no arrests or additional charges are pending at this time.
