A Tigerton man is facing felony charges in connection with a shooting incident that allegedly occurred during a domestic disturbance in Tigerton early Friday.
Jeremy A. Boivin, 36, has been charged with two counts of reckless endangerment, along with misdemeanor counts of operating a firearm while intoxicated and disorderly conduct.
The Shawano County Sheriff’s Department Special Response Team was called out shortly before 3 a.m. after authorities received a report that a male subject involved in a domestic disturbance had a semi automatic handgun and was firing it.
A woman and three children were able to flee the house, and authorities set up a perimeter around the residence.
The man, later identified as Boivin, put the gun away after a phone conversation with a sheriff’s deputy and was taken into custody, according to the criminal complaint.
Boivin could face a maximum possible penalty of 12½ years in prison and a $25,000 fine if found guilty of first-degree recklessly endangering safety. A second charge of second-degree reckless endangerment carries a maximum of 10 years imprisonment and a $25,000 fine.
Boivin was ordered held on a $2,500 cash bond and was scheduled for an adjourned initial court appearance Aug. 11.
