(KNZA)--The man accused of the non-fatal shooting of a woman in Brown County this week is in custody and has been identified publicly.

According to a release from Brown County Sheriff John Merchant, 48-year-old Mark Alan Edmundson was arrested in Saint Joseph, Missouri, his city of residence, after allegedly fleeing the scene of the shooting, which occurred Monday afternoon in the vicinity of U.S. Highway 36 and Timber Road.

His apprehension came after an Attempt to Locate was issued by the Brown County Sheriff's Office Dispatch shortly after the shooting was reported.

Edmundson, as of Friday, remained in the Buchanan County, Missouri Jail, held on felony charges for 2nd degree trafficking of dangerous drugs.

When deputies arrived on the scene of the shooting, they located a woman who suffered an apparent gunshot wound to the lower leg. She was transported to Amberwell Hospital, in Hiawatha, where she was treated and released.

The shooting remains under investigation.
