The 44-year-old man that a Plymouth police officer shot and injured while responding to a domestic disturbance call now faces an assault charge.

The Plymouth officer, identified as Jacob Coopet, shot Atanas Hristev of Champlin in the early morning on Nov. 25.

According to a complaint filed last week, the officer responded to the apartment complex on Quinwood Lane North after a woman reported that someone was knocking on her window, trying to get in. The woman said she believed the person was her ex-husband, Hristev.

Charging documents say Coopet arrived at the apartment to see Hristev dressed in all black, walking away from the window and back towards the parking lot. Dash camera footage shows him with a "fully extended arm pointing a pistol" at Coopet, the complaint says.
