Man Injured at ex-girlfriend's home
September 5, 2003
Sparr--A man who allegedly entered his ex-girlfriend's home uninvited
and got into a confrontation with another man at the residence, was
subsequently shot in the left abdomen, according to a Sheriff's Office
report.
The man, Jake Z. Sims, Jr., 60, 1600 N. E. 36th Ave., reportedly went to
Jodi D. Weltzien's home, 1501 N. E. 97th St. Road, after 10:30 p.m.
Wednesday and saw Thomas C. Johnson, 49, 3034 N. E. 120th Street there.
Authorities say an argument developed between the men. Sims then shoved
Johnson up against a wall, the report stated.
Sims, officials say, then charged into Johnson, causing the .22-caliber
handgun, which was in Johnson's possession, to go off, hitting Sims in
the abdomen. Weltzien told deputies she dated Sims for about a dozen
years, but they've been separated for about three years.
Sims was taken to Munroe Regional Medical Center where a hospital
spokesman said he was in critical condition. Sheriff's officials say
they're going to review the case with the State Attorney's office to see
if charges will be filed.
