A 24-year-old St. Joseph man was charged Friday with Unlawful Use of a Firearm after an incident Thursday afternoon near the Belt and Faraon.

Jeremiah Sweet was charged with a Class D Felony of Unlawful Use of a Firearm.  Bond is set at $50,000.

As previously reported, Detective Sgt. Jason Strong with the St. Joseph Police Department spotted a disturbance in a white SUV shortly after noon Thursday. When Sgt. Strong tried to pull the vehicle over, Sweet got out and fled.  A woman in the vehicle warned Strong that Sweet had a gun.  She had already been shot in the shoulder earlier.

According to Sergeant Roy Hoskins, Strong called for backup and Sweet was soon found hiding in a shed in the mobile home park and was arrested.

The woman, a 25-year-old St. Joe woman, was transported to Mosaic Life Care for treatment of a single gunshot wound to the clavicle.  Sgt. Hoskins said her injuries were not life threatening.
