I Shot The Sheriff

2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

PERRYSVILLE, Ohio -- A police chief in Ashland County who said he was shot during a traffic stop admitted Wednesday to making up the whole story.

NewsChannel5 reported that according to sheriff's investigators, Perrysville Police Chief Tim Sommer confessed to accidentally firing his rifle through the windshield of his police car.

To cover up that shooting, Sommer said that he went out to a county road, called on a police radio for help and fired his weapon to make it appear that there was trouble at the scene of a traffic stop.

Then, he accidentally fired his weapon again, striking his own leg.

The Ashland County prosecutor is reviewing this case.
