Bang-bang and booze don’t mix — even in Florida.
Two lovebirds were arrested after they were allegedly caught firing guns and downing booze near their home on Saturday night.
Tiffany Rose Lindo and Jacob Roibert Mills, both 25, of Fort Pierce, FL, were taken into custody after officers were called to reports of people actively discharging firearms at about 9 p.m. Saturday, according to the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office.
The pair were allegedly firing a shotgun, rifle, and handguns and had been consuming alcohol before and during the gunplay, according to authorities.
“A BAD COMBINATION, A WORSE DECISION: Firearms and alcohol. Two things that should never be part of the same plan,” the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on Facebook.
No injuries were reported, but residents were warned not to handle a weapon while drinking.
“While shooting into the ground may have seemed like a good idea to those involved, adding alcohol and multiple firearms to the equation is not a combination that ends well,” the sheriff’s office said.
“If you are drinking, do not handle or discharge a firearm. Put the firearm away, leave it alone, and make the responsible choice,” the statement continued.
The sheriff shared a picture of the arsenal — including an AR-style semiautomatic rifle, a shotgun, a semiautomatic handgun and a derringer-style pistol.
They also showed pics of the pair grinning in the back of a squad car following their arrest.
Both Lindo and Mills were arrested on charges of discharging a firearm in a public or residential area and using a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.
