A South Hero man is facing a criminal charge after he shot himself in the hip in a restaurant bathroom. It was described as an accident.

Zeberiah Snow, 31, was cited on a charge of recklessly endangering another person after an investigation this week.

Vermont State Police say Snow shot himself at McKeeโ€™s Island Pub and Pizza in South Hero on Sunday.

At the time of the shooting, โ€œSnow was observed by witnesses to be highly intoxicated and in a crowded public bar,โ€ police said in a statement Wednesday.

Snow is due in court later this month.
