Greenough faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, assault on a handicapped person, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, breaking and entering, larceny, discharging a firearm within the city limits, obtaining property by false pretense and possession of stolen property.
A man told police his wife heard noises in the yard on April 13, and he went out to investigate them. He said he saw a man stealing items from his shed and tried to stop him.
The burglar pushed the man against a fence and shot him in the leg before fleeing in a dark-colored car, police said.
