The suspect, 30, of Bangor, was jailed on an outstanding warrant for assault with intent to commit murder and felony firearms, Van Buren County sheriff's deputies said.

The victim told police that she and her boyfriend had gotten into an argument before he hit her with a shotgun and shot her in the ankle. He took her to the hospital and left.

A little later, South Haven police called the suspect. He eventually returned to the hospital and was arrested without incident in the parking lot.
