Woman, 61, Shoots At Husband, Hits TV

A 61-year-old woman could face jail time after police said she tried to shoot her 65-year-old husband in the head and missed, hitting the plasma TV instead.

Washington Township resident Cheryl Grucz, 61, was arraigned on charges ranging from assault with intent to do bodily harm, less than murder, which carries a 10-year sentence, to possession of a firearm in commission of a felony, which carries a 2-year sentence, and a misdemeanor charge because the firearm did not pass safety inspection.

Her frantic husband locked himself in a room in the basement of their Glacier Estates home and called 911 after she fired the shot.

"My wife's got a gun and she's shooting at me," said her husband.

A Romeo District Court judge set a bond of $50,000 bond or 10 percent with conditions.

The court also ordered Grucz to enroll in a domestic violence program.

Grucz's preliminary hearing is scheduled for Jan. 15.
