A 55-year-old Athens man was shot by his passenger Sunday night as they were driving on Jefferson Road.

Roderick Jones got into an argument with Sheena Willoughby about where they were going when she pulled out a gun and pointed it at his face.

When Jones pushed the gun away his passenger fired it and and the bullet struck his hip.

Jones then threw Willoughby from the car and drove to the hospital.

Police located the woman near the JP gas station and arrested her for aggravated assault.

She remained jailed without bail on Tuesday.
