MIAMI — After he spat at a woman in Miami, a 39-year-old man pulled out a black Ruger Security-9 semi-automatic handgun, according to police officers who cited surveillance video in an arrest report.
The video shows Michael Bellamy, of West Little River, pointing the gun with both hands and racking the firearm back with his left hand at the 7-Eleven store and gas station in Little River, according to police.
“Stop playing with me,” Bellamy told the woman shortly after 5:50 p.m. on Monday, according to the report of his arrest on Thursday.
Bellamy drove away southbound on North Miami Avenue at Northwest 79 Street in a white 2006 Buick Lacrosse, and a few days later, police officers caught up to him, according to a police officer’s report.
Bellamy was at Northwest Seventh Avenue and 62 Street, an area near Miami Edison Senior High School in Miami’s Little Haiti that “has been devastated by violent assaults and retaliatory shootings,” according to a police officer’s report.
Bellamy ran a red light at Northwest Seventh Avenue and 54 Street in Miami’s Liberty City, and two police cruisers stopped him at Northwest Sixth Avenue and 54 Street, records show.
Bellamy had a gun “within the center console, inside of a holster” with “a magazine ... containing 10 live 9mm rounds,” which was “consistent with the defendant having to rack the firearm ... to load a round,” according to police.
Bellamy was “in handcuffs and knowingly detained” when he “stated that he was not doing anything until he knew what was going on” and a police officer “was forced to push” him, according to police.
During questioning, Bellamy told police officers he had threatened the woman who was working at 7-Eleven because he was angry that two gas station pumps weren’t working.
Miami-Dade corrections booked Bellamy shortly before 8:25 p.m. on Thursday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, according to inmate records.
Bellamy faced six charges: Use or display of a firearm while committing a felony, aggravated assault with a firearm, battery, resisting an officer without violence, improper exhibition of a weapon, and disorderly conduct.
