Ohio Man Gets 90 Days For Shooting Wife 'During Sex'

A Springfield, Ohio man has been sentenced to serve 90 days in jail, despite his wife's claims that the shooting was accidental.

Timothy Havens, 38, shot his wife with a handgun last November and called 911 to report that he shot his wife 'during sex'.

The victim maintained that the shooting was an accident throughout the investigation.

However, some of the evidence in the case did not seem to match the story and prosecutors believed otherwise since there had been a history of violence in the home.

Judge Roger Wilson said the wife's claim that it was an accident was moot since Havens should not have been in the home when the shooting occurred, because he had a protection order against him.

Although, even after the shooting, both Havens and the victim were trying to reconcile and continued to violate the protection order.

Havens said there was some 'confusion' about whether they were allowed to see each other because his wife had filed to rescind the protection order.

In addition to the 90 days, Judge Roger Wilson also ordered Havens to serve 80 hours of community service, attend anger management counseling, pay a $300 fine and serve three years probation.
