CEDAR CITY, Utah (AP) -- Officials say a man was shot at a house in Escalante yesterday by a member of a police task force serving a warrant.
Garfield County Attorney Barry Huntington says the task force was looking for drugs and weapons.
The unidentified man was taken to Garfield County Memorial Hospital in Panguitch and later transferred to Valley View Medical Center in Cedar City. Huntington says the injury was not life-threatening.
Huntington says the injured man was not the person being sought in the warrant.
Another man police were looking for was arrested at the house during the raid, but his identity has not been released. Police have also not released the name of the officer who shot the man.
