Daniel Leatherman, 26, explained to the police that he accidentally injured himself when he went to investigate an argument between a man he knew and a taxi driver after he heard them fighting in front of his apartment.
He said he took the gun with him for protection from Cody Nunn who had assaulted him in the past.
Apparently he dropped the gun as he tried to hide it behind his back. The gun went off as it hit the floor and a bullet got lodged in his buttocks.
He was taken to the hospital and released later on the same day.
Nunn – who was said to be drunk and disruptive when he arrived at the hospital with Leatherman – was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct.
