According to the court filing, Kallberg punctured the tires on the other man’s vehicle when the victim tried to leave Kallberg's residence on South Highway S. Following a pushing match in the house, the victim told authorities Kallberg fired a gun in his direction, which left a bullet hole in the wall approximately 3 feet from where the victim stood. Kallberg reportedly went upstairs, and the victim said he heard another shot fired.

The argument moved outside, according to the complaint, and Kallberg moved vehicles to block the driveway before leaving on foot. Douglas County Sheriff’s Office deputies said Kallberg ran to a neighbor’s house and refused to come out. Deputy Kris Witt spoke to the Highland man on the phone for about three hours before he agreed to leave the house and was taken into custody.
As of Monday, April 20, Kallberg had yet to make an initial appearance in court and was not listed on the Douglas County Jail’s online roster.
