A St. George man faces charges after police say his black powder gun was mistakenly fired and the bullet traveled through a wall, striking his neighbor.
Axel Greggory Lelacheur, 29, was arrested and charged Wednesday with three misdemeanor offenses, including reckless endangerment, discharging a firearm within city limits and intoxication.
The arrest stems from an incident that began with a 911 call on Friday, March 21, reporting a gunshot at an apartment complex on Riverside Drive shortly after 6 p.m. in St. George. According to charging documents filed with the court, the caller told emergency dispatch she was struck by a bullet and was bleeding inside the apartment.
Following their initial response to the scene, investigators spoke to hospital staff who said the round entered the left side of the patient's torso and then traveled through the abdomen and became lodged on the right side of her body. Once it entered, the bullet went around the spleen and colon, missing both, but as it continued, it pierced her pancreas, liver and stomach. The injuries, investigators noted, were significant and "will require a lifestyle change for her moving forward."
