WA man shot with arrow, daughter arrested

[May 26, 2011]  TAHUYA, Wash. (AP) -- Authorities in Washington state say they're arrested a teenage girl for allegedly shooting her dad with an arrow after he took her cellphone away.

Mason County detective William Adam says the man told officers that his 15-year-old daughter used a hunting bow to shoot him Wednesday evening after he grounded her and took the phone.

KOMO-TV reports he was airlifted from the rural, forested Tahuya (tuh-HOO-yah) area to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and listed in serious condition.

Adam says the girl fled into woods behind her home with the bow and arrows, but a SWAT team surrounded her and arrested her for investigation of first-degree assault.

Tahuya is about 35 miles west of Seattle.
