The argument resulted in Petitioner firing multiple shots at Watts in the presence of Watts' wife, Sharon Watts. See Frazier v. State, 2014 Ark. App. 191. Petitioner filed a direct appeal of his conviction, arguing that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction for the aggravated assault of Sharon Watts.

The Arkansas Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction on March 19, 2014. Frazier v. State, 2014 Ark. App. 191, 2014 WL 1092455. The mandate was issued on April 8, 2014.
