A man shot in the head Saturday was booked into jail Monday after being released from the hospital.

The case started early Saturday morning when an air ambulance rushed Joseph Michael Pellett from a Vernon Road residence in Alsea to Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend in Springfield with a single gunshot wound to the head.

The 25-year-old survived the shot from a small-caliber handgun and was released from the hospital over the weekend.

Sheriff's deputies investigated the shooting — and on Monday.....

.....Pellett was arrested at his home and booked into the Benton County Jail on charges of assault abuse in the fourth degree, strangulation, and two counts each of menacing and unlawful use of a weapon.

The weapons charge is a felony. The rest are misdemeanors.

Ridler said Pellett’s girlfriend, Kaila M. Courtain, 22, fired the shot as the two struggled, apparently in an effort to protect herself.....
