PHOENIX (Reuters) - A marijuana smoker
was arrested in Arizona after shooting at the
moon with a handgun and wrestling with
officers who were called by his girlfriend to
subdue him, authorities said on Wednesday.
Police went to a home in Prescott Valley,
about 85 miles north of Phoenix, late last
Friday where the woman told them her partner
had fired several shots into the air after telling
her and her teenage son he had seen Halley's
Comet.
Prescott Valley police spokesman Sergeant
Brandon Bonney said Cameron Read, 39, was
arrested after a struggle and admitted firing
multiple times and "trying to shoot the moon."
Bonney said Read also confessed to smoking
marijuana before the incident, and told officers
he had not wanted to hurt anyone.
He is being held in Yavapai County Jail on
felony charges of unlawful discharge of a
firearm, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct
and endangerment, and a misdemeanor count
of criminal damage. It was not immediately
clear if he has an attorney.
