HAMILTON - A 43-year-old Hamilton woman has been charged with attempted murder after Ravalli County authorities say she shot at her husband during an argument.

Officers say Deborah Haynes fired a shot at her husband Friday as he was driving away from their house. Witnesses say Haynes drove off in another direction and deputies arrested her. Investigators determined that the couple had been arguing and that she had been breaking dishes. Investigators believe she used shards from the broken dishes to cut her arms.

When deputies found Wendell Haynes, he was uninjured and said his wife had threatened to kill herself before she shot at him. Sheriff Chris Hoffman says Deborah Haynes was taken to the hospital for treatment and evaluation before being jailed. Her bail was set at $10,000 dollars during a hearing Monday.
