On Saturday, Michael Parson was extradited to Georgia and booked into Fulton County jail, booking records show. He faces charges of aggravated assault, aggravated battery, making false statements, possession a firearm while committing a felony and marijuana possession.
After spending 19 days in critical condition at Grady, 40-year-old Adina Parson was transferred earlier this month to the Shepherd Center, where she is continuing her recovery.
Doctors have said the woman, an attorney for the state Department of Public Health, has made remarkable improvement despite being shot three times in the head.
Police have not released information regarding a possible motive in the shooting.
