NH Man Who Allegedly Shot Person in Arm With SIG Sauer Handgun Indicted

A man who allegedly shot a person with a SIG Sauer handgun in Epping has been indicted by a grand jury at Rockingham County Superior Court in Brentwood.

Andrew Wentworth, 35, of Raymond, is charged with first-degree assault, second-degree assault, criminal threatening with a deadly weapon and reckless conduct with a deadly weapon.

Prosecutors say that on May 4, Wentworth was in Epping and he purposely placed the man he shot in fear of imminent bodily injury by stating, "You're going to die tonight, (expletive)" or words to that effect.

Wentworth allegedly shot the man in the arm after threatening him with the handgun.

Wentworth faces up to 80 years in prison if he is convicted and a judge orders the maximum sentence. He also faces up to $16,000 in fines.

According to court paperwork, a scheduling conference in Wentworth's case will be held on Aug. 25.
