An Ithaca man is facing criminal charges after he accidentally shot himself in the toe.
State Police say the incident happened shortly before 5 o’clock on the morning of October 16th at a residence on Lake Country Avenue in the Town of Dryden. By the time State Police had made it to the scene, Jacub Hemingway had been taken by car to a nearby hospital. An investigation at the scene revealed that the 21-year-old had three firearms and did not possess a pistol permit. It is also alleged he had a pair of brass knuckles.
Hemingway was charged with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon, one a felony and the other a misdemeanor.
The fact that a defendant has been charged with a crime is merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
