DES MOINES, Iowa [KCCI]  — A Des Moines man has been arrested for allegedly shooting his girlfriend early Thursday morning at a hotel.  The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said deputies were dispatched to the Quality Inn and Suites at 4995 Merle Hay Road just before 1:00 a.m. Thursday after receiving a call from a man who said his girlfriend had been shot.

When deputies arrived they found Garriett Robinson, 48, outside the hotel room where the shooting was reported. A woman was found inside, suffering from a gunshot wound to the back, near her shoulder. She was transported to a Des Moines hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

Robinson was arrested on several charges, including domestic abuse/assault while displaying or using a weapon, willful injury-causing serious injury, reckless use of a firearm with serious injury, child endangerment, possession of a controlled substance, and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was being held in the Polk County Jail.
