The Cobb County District Attorney said a Mableton man will spend a decade behind bars for attacking his stepdaughter.

Gregory Schmeelk, 51, was charged with aggravated assault, family violence, and reckless conduct.

Officers said Schmeelk had been drinking and arguing with his wife before he chased his stepdaughter outside and fired several rounds in her direction.
