A Little Rock man was arrested Tuesday after he shot at a man who was supposed to build him a grill, and investigators later found more than 300 pills of pain medication in the alleged shooter's home, authorities said.

Police were flagged down by a 30-year-old man in the 9000 block of Geyer Springs Road around 2:45 p.m., according to a police report. The man told police that earlier in the day, he was at the home of 58-year-old Larry G. Clark in order to build a barbecue grill for him.

The 30-year-old asked Clark for money to buy supplies after the person who was supposed to purchase them failed to show up, and Clark got mad and started "ranting," the report said.

The man decided to leave and drove away from Clark's home down Geyer Springs Road, police said. Clark followed, pulled up beside the man and fired a shot at his car, striking the rear-passenger side door, police said. The victim was not hit by the bullet.

Clark was arrested at his home in the 5700 block of Liberty Circle around 3:10 p.m.

Police searched the residence on a warrant and found two firearms, more than 220 Oxycodone pills, 80 Dilaudid pills, 21 Hydromorphone pills, 4 Xanax pills and 18 grams of marijuana, according to an arrest report.

Clark faces charges of two counts of possession of a firearm by certain persons, terroristic act, discharge of a firearm from a vehicle, simultaneous possession of gun and drugs as well as several felony drug possession charges.

A court date is scheduled for June 27.
