SANDPOINT — A Bonner County man accused of shooting another man during a dispute at Bloom Lake last month waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Wednesday.

Michael Jesse Chisholm’s waiver clears the way for his arraignment in 1st District Court on Aug. 17. He remains held at the Bonner County Jail with his bail set at $150,000.

Chisholm is charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and use of a firearm during the commission of a crime. The charges stem from a June 28 altercation in which he is accused of shooting another man in the back.

The alleged victim survived the shooting.
