Lehman’s car hit by gunshot

AUGUSTA, Ga. – A 26-year-old man was jailed Wednesday night after allegedly shooting at Tom Lehman’s car. Lehman wasn’t hurt and will play when the Masters begins today.

Troy Willis Smith of Augusta is being held on two felony counts each of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm in commission of a crime, said investigator Tom Johnson of the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office.

Lehman was on his way to the Augusta airport late Tuesday night to pick up his son, Johnson said. As he drove westbound on Bobby Jones Expressway, Lehman told police an older-model, four-door sport-utility vehicle sped past his 2006 Cadillac Escalade and he heard a loud noise.

Johnson said a bullet hole was found in the rear driver’s side door of the Escalade.
