CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - A Wyoming man appeared in court for the first time after allegedly shooting an officer in the foot.

The Wyoming Tribune Eagle reports (https://bit.ly/2hx47CF ) Joseph Jacquez appeared Monday in Laramie County Circuit Court where he was charged with one count of aggravated assault and battery-serious bodily injury, or aggravated assault and injury-bodily injury with a weapon, or interference with a peace officer-bodily injury.

Jacquez also was charged with attempted interference with a peace officer-disarming and first-offense domestic battery.

Jacquez was arrested Friday after officers responded to a domestic disturbance call. Jacquez pulled an officer into the house when police attempted to arrest him.

During a scuffle, Jacquez grabbed an officer’s rifle and shot another officer in the foot.

Jacquez’s bond is $100,000, and his preliminary hearing will be Oct. 5.
