Iron Co. suspect claims dogs knocked gun over, shooting his girlfriend in the back
Iron County Sheriff's Office deputies said they responded to a mobile home in Beryl on July 13 and found the victim with a gunshot wound in her back. The woman told police she had been driven to the home by her boyfriend, 38-year-old James Allen Cox.According to the arrest documents, in a follow-up interview with detectives, the woman claimed her and Cox were having an argument and that she had left to live in a nearby trailer.
When the woman left the new trailer to get away from Cox,"several dogs came out with her," the documents said. The victims said she heard a gunshot as she stepped of the stairs and"felt immediate pain."Deputies attempted to speak with Cox at his home, but he refused to come out a talk, forcing them to obtain a search warrant to enter the property. Cox claimed his gun had been propped against the wall when it was knocked over by the dogs.
During a search of the home, authorities found the rifle concealed behind a blanket and cardboard, along with a bag containing"white crystalline substance along with several smoking devices consistent with the use of methamphetamines and marijuana." Cox faces multiple charges, including felony discharge of a firearm, tampering of evidence and failure to stop by police command.
