He was also charged with an additional three counts of second degree assault.

On July 21, Shanteari drove to the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Washington DC to confront her husband.
James Weems Jr. was shot in the leg by his wife Shanteari on July 21 at the Mandarin Oriental. She had just been told by a mother of one of the kids who attends her daycare that her husband was abusing children. He has now been charged with 10 child sex offenses
She had just been told by one of the mothers from her daycare center that Weems had abused their child.
It was the second allegation against her husband; the first temporarily closed the center.
Shanteari, 50, took her gun with her. Once inside her husband's hotel room, she claims he became aggressive towards her - so she shot him in 'self-defense'.
She had also, however, written notes talking about her desire to hurt him as payback
