WARSAW — A Warsaw woman was recently arrested after allegedly shooting a firearm in a residence to get a man’s attention.
Melissa L. Estep, 58, 3687 S. Country Club Road, Warsaw, is charged with criminal recklessness while armed with a deadly weapon, a level 5 felony.
On Nov. 1, officers with the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office and Winona Lake Police Department responded to a call for assistance at a Warsaw residence. According to court documents, a man advised that Estep was injured.
Officers found Estep, who was uninjured, in a closet. Estep told officers she intentionally shot a gun at the residence’s ceiling to get the man’s attention, saying the man spent too much time on his tablet.
A portable breath test from Estep resulted in a .206 BrAC.
Estep currently has pending charges for pointing a firearm at another person in June in Kosciusko County.
For this case, Estep was booked in the Kosciusko County Jail on Dec. 6, with a $10,250 surety and cash bond.
