A man from Tennessee was recently arrested for firing his gun in a celebratory manner after his divorce was finalized. According to reports from WSMV, 26-year-old Juan Jose Vasquez, also known as Craig Jose Miller, is facing multiple charges for his actions on April 1st in downtown Nashville.
It all started when the Metro Nashville police received a call about shots being fired at a busy intersection. When they arrived at the scene, they found Miller sitting with a friend at the corner. At first, Miller denied firing the gun, but he later confessed that he did it to celebrate his newfound freedom after his divorce. He admitted to firing eight shots, stating that it was a way to celebrate his regained independence.
WKRN reported that the police spoke to a delivery driver who witnessed the incident. He claimed to have heard gunshots and saw Miller waving the firearm around and shooting in different directions. Upon further investigation, the police found the gun in a nearby parking lot, along with eight bullet shells. Witnesses also identified Miller as the person who had been firing the gun and expressed their fear for their safety.
Miller was charged with several crimes, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, reckless endangerment, theft of property, drug possession, and assaulting officers. Police officers also found a THC pen in his pocket and reported that he appeared to be under the influence and unable to take care of himself.
During the arrest, Miller's friend informed the officers that there was potentially dangerous material in his black backpack. As a precaution, the police closed off the area and searched the backpack, where they found stolen property from a vehicle break-in earlier that night. They also confirmed that the gun Miller used had been stolen from a vehicle as well.
In the midst of his arrest, Miller allegedly kicked one of the police officers and made threats to kill all of them, regardless of being in handcuffs or not. He now faces multiple charges and is in police custody. This incident serves as a reminder to be responsible and considerate when handling weapons, as it can result in harm to oneself and others.
