A Bloomington man who said he was shot at McCormick's Creek State Park in Owen county last month now faces charges for the shooting.

Conservation officers have accused Peter Raventos of shooting himself in a staged incident.

An investigation found evidence that Raventos rigged a shotgun so he could shoot it at himself from a distance.

He's charged with obstruction of justice and false informing.

He turned himself in to police this morning and was released on bond.
