A Tennessee man faces charges after police said he shot a man during an April robbery.

Court documents show the victim met a woman at the Budget 8 Inn located at East 21st Street and North Shadeland Avenue for sex. The victim said he had $500 on him and paid the woman $100.

Afterward, the document reads, the woman asked him to buy her marijuana. The man believes this is when the woman noticed how much money he had and texted someone. While getting dressed, the man said the woman let another man in the room.

The man told police the man who entered the room pointed a gun at him and demanded money. He gave the man $400 before being told to leave.

While leaving, the victim told police he thought he could take the man, so he grabbed the man’s handgun. While struggling over the gun, the man told police the other man with the gun fired approximately three times. After falling back, the man told police multiple shots were fired at him.
