STURGEON BAY, WI (WTAQ)- Charges have been filed against a man whose actions led to a Door County Sheriff Deputy being shot in the thigh Monday morning.
26-year old Brian Crook has been charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
Police say Crook was making threats with a knife.
Officers were able to get Crooks to drop the knife, but said Crooks resisted arrest.
Police reported that as they attempted to arrest Crooks, a rifle that was being carried by a Sturgeon Bay police officer, discharged into the floor, leading to bullet fragments striking a Door County deputy in the leg area.
The deputy was released from the hospital the same day.
The investigation to what led to the gun being discharged is still ongoing.
