(KLZA)--A September 19 preliminary hearing is scheduled in Richardson County Court for a Falls City man facing multiple felony charges in connection with incidents that occurred in Salem in July.

44-year-old James Liming is charged with use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony, assault in the seconds degree, attempted  assault in the second degree and terroristic threats.

Court documents alleged Liming hit a man in the head with a pistol, pointed the gun at him and pulled the trigger. However, the gun misfired.

Liming allegedly admitted to a sheriff's deputy that he had fired several shots from a .22-caliber pistol into the radiator of a car occupied by two men.

Liming is free on a $7,500 cash bond.
