[By: Jake Jost, Investigative Producer, WBIR, Knoxville, TN]A woman accused of storming her former church and shooting a pulpit is out of the hospital and headed to jail.
Cocke County Sheriff's deputies escorted Janet Compton out of the hospital Friday afternoon.
Compton is accused of firing a shot inside the Hilltop Church in Newport last Wednesday night. A bullet ricocheted off the floor and lodged in the pulpit her husband stood behind. The couple is going through a divorce.
A wreck while fleeing the church sent Compton to the hospital in critical condition. She faces charges of attempted first degree murder, reckless endangerment, and possession of a firearm to go armed.
