Lane Shelton, 52, of Montello was arrested Tuesday after shooting at but missing his ex-wife with a pistol said sheriff’s spokesman.

“Evidently the two had been divorced but were still living together in Montello.” The spokesman Nick Czegledi said. “Allegedly there was a fight and Shelton reportedly shot at his ex-wife as she was leaving the house.”

Deputies were called and Shelton was arrested at the home without incident. He is charged with one count of attempted murder.
