A Vidor man who was at the house where a woman was shot Sunday was arrested on drug charges Wednesday evening.
Orange County Sheriff’s Investigator Janois Grizzaffi said 52-year-old Randy L. Wasnak was arrested on a warrant for possession of a controlled substance.
Law officers arrived at his house at 3575 East Railroad Street in Vidor at 5:40 p.m. Grizzaffi said Wasnak was in the yard of the house. The officers had a search warrant and found 13 grams of methamphetamine along with drug paraphernalia.
Wasnak now faces two charges of possession with a total of $100,000 bond, $50,000 on each count.
The search was conducted by the sheriff’s Special Services Division and the Orange Major Crimes Division.
Deputies went to the house Sunday afternoon when a 9-1-1 call reported an accidental shooting. Grizzaffi said investigators later determined the shooting was not accidental. No charges have been filed in connection with the shooting.
A 50-year-old woman was shot twice, including a shot to her upper body. She was taken by medical helicopter to St. Elizabeth Hospital in Beaumont where she remains in stable condition after surgery. Grizzaffi said the woman is not cooperating with investigators.
