(January 16, 2008)--A Texas Panhandle justice of the peace has been sentenced to 10 years' probation after pleading guilty to shooting her husband.

Michelle Araujo of Lockney also resigned from the bench after entering her plea to a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

In return for the plea, a Randall County jury accepted the probationary sentence proposed by prosecutors under a plea agreement.

Prosecutors also dropped an attempted murder charge.

The Floyd County justice of the peace was accused of shooting her husband, Romeo Araujo, three times in the abdomen at their home in March.

The husband told the jury he loves his wife and favored probation.

The two have been married 14 years and have three children.
