A woman celebrating the beginning of 2020 wound up in the hospital and then jail Wednesday.

LAKE TWP. A township woman celebrating the new year with alcohol and gunfire wound up in the Aultman Hospital emergency room with an injury as a result of firing the gun — and then a jail cell.

Stark County Sheriff's deputies arrested the 44-year-old Lake Township woman at the hospital at 3:35 a.m. Wednesday.

Maj. C.J. Stantz said she had been drinking when she fired the gun, accidentally injuring herself. She was treated at the hospital for an injury to her left hand and then released into deputies’ custody.

They booked her into the jail on a misdemeanor charge of using weapons while intoxicated. (The Canton Repository does not typically name misdemeanor crime suspects.)

The woman was released from jail hours later after posting $164 bond.
