Both charges are felonies. The assault count carries a maximum 10-year prison term.

According to the the attorney general's office release, Cox was off duty when he intervened in a verbal and physical altercation between his father and other campers at the Merrill-Gorrell County Park in Barryton in May. He announced himself as DNR law enforcement before firing multiple shots, striking one person.

The DNR requested state police investigate the incident.

Cox is due to appear in court for a preliminary hearing Dec. 27.

It was unclear whether Cox has an attorney.
