Jeffrey Barton was originally charged with illegal aiming or discharging a firearm because he fired the shots from within a county-designated no-shooting zone.
But Barton made headlines after placing the blame on advice given by the vice president.
“I did what Joe Biden told me to do,” Barton said following the incident. “I went outside and fired my shotgun in the air.”
