( CNN ) -- A Warren Township , Ohio , man faces charges of felonious assault after authorities say he fired his rifle at two teens who were attempting to deface his McCain presidential campaign yard sign . Police say the man 's sign is the only McCain sign on a street full of Obama signs . Kenneth Rowles , 50 , pleaded not guilty to the charge Monday , according to CNN affiliate WBNS . Bail was set at $ 10,000 . Rowles told police he was sitting on his porch Saturday when a tan SUV pulled up and a black youth jumped out and ran toward his house , screaming , `` This is for Obama . '' He said another male was hanging out of the passenger window screaming the same thing . Rowles said he went inside , got his rifle and fired three shots to scare the youths away , according to a Warren Township police report . He told officers he believes that the men `` were the same two that have been destroying his McCain sign . '' Just hours before the shooting , Rowles called police and said that a car had stopped in front of his house and that a black male `` ran up and said something about Obama , '' according to the report , and `` damaged his sign again . '' One of the youths , 17-year-old Kyree Flowers , was shot in the arm , according to a police report . He and the second youth , Patrick Wise Jr. , 16 , told police they were in the car attempting to leave when Rowles fired at them . `` Kyree stated that he witnessed the homeowner trying to shoot Patrick but he was having trouble chambering a round , '' the police report said . The teens admitted that they had defaced the McCain sign several times , Warren Township police Lt. Don Bishop told CNN . Rowles ' is the only McCain sign on a street full of Obama signs , he said . Bishop said the teenagers probably will not be charged -- and are unlikely to damage campaign signs again , as the incident scared them .
