EATONTON, Ga. (AP) Authorities say a Putnam County sheriff's deputy is expected to recover after he was wounded by a shotgun blast during a call in central Georgia. <br />
<br />
Putnam County Sheriff Howard Sills tells The Telegraph that a man fired the gun during a domestic dispute Wednesday night just north of Lake Sinclair. <br />
<br />
Sills said shotgun pellets struck Deputy Barak Wood in the hand and in the eye area, but his injuries are not considered life-threatening. <br />
<br />
Sills said two deputies had been sent to the house after a 911 call about a dispute between a man and a baby sitter at the home. <br />
<br />
The sheriff said a 23-year-old man at the home opened fire on Wood, then ran into nearby woods but later surrendered. He was charged with aggravated assault on a peace officer. <br />
