CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Police have charged a man taken into custody Tuesday morning following a domestic dispute that led to shots being fired near a police station and a car crash in east Charlotte.

Kendrick Piggie, 29, is charged with Attempted Murder, five counts of Assault with a Deadly Weapon, four counts of Assault with a Deadly Weapon in the Presence of a Minor, Communicating Threats, Firearm by Felon, and 5 counts of Shooting into an Occupied Conveyance.

Officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department say a woman went to the CMPD team office on North Sharon Amity Road just before 10am with her four children to seek help.
