Officers reportedly found four bullet holes that exited the exterior wall of the residence and appeared to have traveled west into a residential area.
Drucker reportedly submitted to a Preliminary Breath Test which resulted in a Breath Alcohol reading of .186.
Drucker appeared in Lincoln County Circuit Court on January 11 and was later released on $2,500 signature bond with provisions of not consuming intoxicants and may not possess firearms.
