GILLETTE (WNE) — A 27-year-old man who went to the police Thursday afternoon to report that he shot his girlfriend ended up being arrested for drug use.

He showed up at the police department and said he’d shot his 44-year-old girlfriend in their home on Laurel Street, and that the gun was in his car, said Police Deputy Chief Brent Wasson.

Officers went to the home and met with the woman, who had not been shot and was doing fine, Wasson said. There was no gun in the car.

The man admitted to using meth, and officers found two meth pipes in the home. The man was arrested for use of a controlled substance.
