CRIME NEWS
- ➤ Madison Police arrested a 25-year-old man on Sunday after he accidentally fired a gun in a hotel on the 2800 block of Coho Street — he shot himself in the hand and the bullet damaged a chair and nightstand in the adjacent room where a man and woman were sleeping, and a search of his room uncovered drugs that led to additional charges.
