Greenfield Police Department detectives continue to piece together facts related to a shooting that occurred early Wednesday morning.
Heriberto Guzman Mendez, 44, was shot in the arm after what detectives believe was a domestic dispute.
It is alleged that Mendez was battering a woman inside a moving vehicle on Melody Lane around Kroger. The woman was able to reach her firearm and fired at least one shot at Mendez, striking him in the arm. She was then able to get away from him and drove to a local hotel.
The woman did have a protective order against Mendez in place at the time of this incident.
Mendez was treated at the scene by GPD officers and EMS personnel from the Greenfield Fire Territory. He was taken to an Indianapolis hospital for treatment and then released and arrested. He was transported to the Hancock County Jail.
The Hancock County Prosecutor’s Office will review the probable cause affidavit to decide criminal charges.
