HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — A man was arrested over the weekend on accusations that he fired a gun at a gas station in Hollywood.
According to an arrest report obtained Tuesday by Local 10 News, the incident occurred Sunday at a Shell gas station located at 2414 N. Federal Highway.
Hanoi Lugo, 53, of Miami, was arrested later that night on a charge of firing a weapon in public or on residential property.
According to the report, someone called 911 and reported that a Hispanic man carrying a gun strapped to his chest was yelling, “Get away from me!” before firing into the ground.
Police said officers were eventually able to locate Lugo, who was “yelling unintelligible comments at random passerby.”
Police said they ordered Lugo to show his hands, however he initially refused to comply, keeping his hands behind his back.
According to the report, Lugo eventually followed commands to show his hands and sit on the ground.
A loaded Glock was located in the west alleyway of the gas station, authorities said.
Police said the gas station owner said he did not witness the shooting, but did hear a single loud bang, which he believed to be a gunshot.
In addition to the Glock, officers also confiscated an assault rifle that was found in Lugo’s van, the report stated.
As of Tuesday morning, Lugo was being held at the Broward County Main Jail on a $5,000 bond.
A motive for Lugo’s alleged actions is unclear.
