In February, a Boardman man was charged after being shot during an alleged attempted burglary. Now he is indicted on a felony charge.

Fifty-eight-year-old Lawrence Simon has been charged with one count of aggravated burglary (F1).

The incident occurred when a neighbor was startled to find Lawrence, who lived in the same building, kicking down his apartment door at 2 a.m.

The neighbor told police he feared for his life and shot Lawrence in the leg.

Lawrence was taken to the hospital and was later charged with burglary at the time.
