A North Webster man who shot himself and lied to police was charged with obstruction of justice last week.
John Luroy Miller, 30, of 7236 E. Blacks Trailer Court, was arrested Tuesday for obstruction of justice, and held on a $2,000 bond, for which he has since bonded out.
Miller was arrested after an Oct. 30 incident where he told police he was shot outside of his home.
Miller later admitted that he shot himself.
According to police, the charge was elevated due to the large amount of hours worked by the detective division.
Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department stated that 261 man hours were spent on the case and a total of $5,900 worth of payroll.
Indiana State Police and Huntington Sheriff's Department also worked on the case.
