BATON ROUGE mdash; A man was sentenced to 10 years in prison after knocking on a Baton Rouge home's door and asking its occupant for $10 before shooting him, court records showClayton Smith, 22, entered a guilty plea on attempted second-degree murder charges on Monday, court records say.nbsp;Smith' s guilty plea saw other charges associated with the shooting along North 35th Street, including aggravated damage to property, dropped.nbsp;Arrest records say that Smith knocked on the victim's door on Oct. 20, 2024, and wanted the $10 the victim owed him. The home's resident told Smith he did not know who he was and that he did not owe him money, which prompted Smith to produce a gun and fire several shots at the home, shattering the home's front glass door before he rode away on his bike.nbsp;Smith was arrested the next month on separate charges after he was found with stolen property in a Plank Road storage facility, arrest records say. This charge was dropped as a result of the plea.nbsp;Smith was granted credit for time served.nbsp;Permalink| Comments ...read more read less
