A man was in stable condition today after being shot by his father-in-law, police said.

Deputies were called to a home after reports of a domestic dispute.

Donnell Oxley 36, was found shot in the chest.

Oxley was transported to Charleston Area Medical Center General Hospital where he remains under evaluation. Police said his wounds were not life-threatening.

Oxley's family members told police the man had been high on meth and was causing a disturbance and damaging property around his home and the home of his father-in-law, John Taylor, who lives next door, Stover said. Family members also said he had been harassing and threatening them, Stover said.

At some point, the altercation escalated and (Taylor) shot Mr. Oxley once in the chest, Stover said in a news release.

Police are still investigating, but no charges have been filed, Stover said.

Witnesses reported that at one point in the day Oxley had been riding a horse around the family's home, damaging property, Stover said.

Oxley appeared last year on the Dr. Phil talk show during a segment on meth addiction.

Family members said he also had been taking part in a substance abuse rehabilitation program.
