A man shot his wife in the knee after an argument early Wednesday morning, according to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s office got a call from Northern Surry Hospital that deputies were needed in their emergency room for a woman with a gunshot wound. An official responded to the hospital and met with Penny Utt, 39, of Cana. She told the official that she and her husband got into an argument and she was shot in the knee. Her husband, 50-year-old David Utt was in the waiting area of the hospital.

David Utt was arrested by the Mt. Airy Police Department on a fugitive justice warrant. He was taken to the Surry Count Jail and was placed under a $300,000 bond.

David Utt was able to make bond in North Carolina and was released to return to Virginia. He later turned himself into the Carroll County Sheriff’s office and was charged with malicious wounding, possessing a firearm while being a convicted felon, using a firearm in the commission of a felony and assaulting a family member.

Utt is being held in the New River Valley Regional Jail without bond.
