Police arrested a Minot man on Tuesday following an investigation into an accidental self- inflicted gunshot wound.

According to the MInot Police Department, officers responded to a Minot hospital on Monday for a report of a male with a gunshot wound to the leg. The individual was identified as Marquise Shamon Williams, 26, Minot. The investigation determined Williams and another individual had an argument at a residence in northwest Minot during which Williams allegedly brandished a firearm and pointed it at the other party.

As the situation escalated and the individual approached Williams he appeared to manipulate the firearm, at which point it discharged, unintentionally shooting himself in the leg. Further investigation revealed Williams is prohibited from possessing firearms due to prior charges out of South Carolina.

Arrest warrants for Williams were issued on Monday for one count of terrorizing and unlawful possession of a firearm, both Class C felonies. Williams was arrested at his residence without incident and transported to the Ward County Jail.
