FOWLER — A Fowler man was arrested after a complaint about a shooting that left a man with a gunshot wound to the arm, according to St. Lawrence County sheriff’s deputies.

Leon B. Wells, 51, was arrested Oct. 7 and charged with first-degree assault, first-degree burglary, criminal use of a firearm, three counts of endangering the welfare of a child and second-degree menacing, deputies said.

The arrest stemmed from a complaint received Oct. 6 regarding an incident on Pond Road in which a male victim was allegedly shot in the arm.

Wells was arraigned in Fowler Town Court before Judge Timothy Knowlton and remanded to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility on $100,000 cash bail, officers said.

A no-contact order of protection was issued in favor of the victim.

Deputies said the investigation was assisted by the state police, Ogdensburg Police, Canton Police, Massena Police, Homeland Security Investigations and the Northern Regional Special Response Team.
