LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Police believe a dispute over marijuana is what led to a shooting involving Nevada State Sen. Pat Spearman's son last week.

That's according to an arrest report from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.

The document states the victim, who Spearman says is her nephew, confronted Na'onche Osborne for blowing marijuana smoke into his young child's face, leading to a fight.

According to authorities, that's when Osborne pulled out a gun and shot the victim in the hip. He was taken to a local hospital.

Police also say they found evidence that Osborne had previously fired a weapon inside the home, which went unreported. He faces several charges and is due back in court on Tuesday.
