Teen shot with BB gun

MOULTRIE — A teenager reported she was shot in the foot with a BB gun early Thursday morning.

A Colquitt County sheriff’s deputy was called to Colquitt Regional Medical Center on South Main Street at 3:17 a.m. Thursday about the shooting. The deputy spoke with the 16-year-old girl, who stated she had been shot in the foot by an unknown person at an unknown location.

The girl told the deputy she was sitting in a chair in the house’s yard between 2:30 a.m. and 3 a.m. Thursday while a group of boy were playing with a BB gun. Not knowing the gun was loaded, one of the boys fired a pellet that hit the girl in the foot near her ankle.

The girl’s grandmother told the deputy she had not spoken to the girl since 3 p.m. Tuesday, but she knew the girl was with friends. A female acquaintance took the girl the Colquitt Regional for treatment of the injury.

  • CORRECTION: DUI charge

    In a Jan. 28 report, The Observer said Ronald Craig Bass, 50, 4411 Dunn Road, Hartsfield, was charged Jan. 26 with driving under the influence, open container violation and probation violation in connection with a minor wreck on Camilla Highway. Excluding the probation violation charge, that information came from a Moultrie police report of a November 2001 incident.
    Bass was charged with probation violation Thursday because all the penalties from the 2001 incident had not been paid. He paid the remaining penalties following his arrest, according to a Moultrie police report.
    The Observer regrets the error.
