The case against a man accused of shooting a local television weatherman with a crossbow in a home invasion last week was sent to a Washington County grand jury this morning.

In Washington County Sessions Court, Judge James Nidiffer bound over Gerald D. Taylor, 53, on an attempted murder charge for the June 4 shooting of Robert William Batot, 43, at a lakefront residence the men had shared.

Taylor was accused of shooting Batot with a crossbow bolt and firing a 9mm pistol at him around 4 a.m.

Batot, known professionally as Rob Williams in his job as a meteorologist at WJHL-TV, was struck in the chest with the bolt. Williams was not hit by any bullets.
