A woman was initially charged after a gun was fired during an argument with her boyfriend. Prosecutors withdrew a felony charge against her on Wednesday.
Prosecutors withdrew the charge of firing a gun into an occupied building against Mariah A. Canfield, 25, during a preliminary hearing in Luzerne County Central Court.
Wilkes-Barre police charged Canfield after a resident reported finding a bullet hole in her residence. The resident had heard a 'pop' hours earlier coming from the other side of the double block house at 128 S. Hancock St., according to court records.
During the investigation, police found that Canfield and her boyfriend were arguing. Canfield grabbed a gun, and as the man tried to grab it from her, it went off, according to court records.
A 9mm Smith & Wesson handgun was discovered in the attic, according to court records.
Canfield agreed to send a reckless endangerment charge to county court.
