WEST JORDAN, Utah (ABC4 News) — Police have identified the woman they arrested after, they said, she allegedly shot a juvenile with a bow and arrow during an altercation Friday afternoon.
According to the West Jordan Police Department, officers responded to the area of 7800 South and 4800 West on a call for a stabbing/possible shooting.
When police arrived, they found a juvenile male suffering from a laceration to his thigh. He reportedly told police he had been shot with a bow and arrow. He was immediately taken to a local hospital where he is said to be in stable condition.
Officers found several arrows in the grass and on a roof near the scene.
The suspect, identified as Chelsie Marinos Huggins, 38, was on the roof of her residence when she got into a verbal altercation with the juvenile male, according to witnesses.
Witnesses also told police Huggins had a rifle and handgun with her while she was on the roof. She allegedly pointed the weapons at the juvenile, according to arresting documents.
