A Buffalo Township man has pleaded no contest to reckless
endangerment for accidentally wounding a woman while he was shooting
at a deer more than a year and a half ago, according to court
records.
In exchange, prosecutors dropped charges against David Lee
Christy of unlawful hunting in a safety zone and wounding a person.
Sentencing is scheduled for early July.
Christy, 21, of Stangler Drive, Buffalo Township was accused of
shooting at a deer in direct line with a house at about 12:30 p.m.
Dec. 23, 2009.
Prosecutors said Christy's shot hit Hope Roenigk, then 45, in her
left ankle.
Roenigk, a school bus driver for W.L. Roenigk., was wounded while
she was walking in her driveway to her bus parked about 100 feet
from her home.
The prosecutor and defense attorney didn't return calls for
comment.
