Tehama County sheriff’s deputies Monday morning arrested a 50-year-old man after he shot at his wife in the couple’s Cottonwood-area home, officers said.

Deputies about 10:30 a.m. Monday went to the 19000 block of Stoneyford Place in the Lake California neighborhood — south of Cottonwood Creek in Tehama County — upon learning that Anthony Shepard fired gun inside his house.

He’d been arguing with his wife and fired the gun at her, deputies said. She ran from the home uninjured and called 911.

Deputies arrived and were able to persuade Shepard to leave the home. They arrested him on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, criminal threats and recklessly firing a gun, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

He was booked into the Tehama County Jail in lieu of $610,000 bail, deputies said.
