Last week a man in Louisville decided he was going to show off for a pregnant girl by firing his gun. Not a bad idea for him because its obvious she liked a good bang.

Carlos R Turrelles Arias, 21, decided it would be a good idea to show off and fire a gun at bystanders. Police say there were children playing in the area, and that people were screaming and running away. Turrelles apparently fired into the crowd and in the air, for no apparent reason.

He left the scene of the crime and the police caught up with him down the road. After searching the car, they found the gun and the clip that holds 10 rounds, and there were only 3 left. He was then put in handcuffs and arrested. Turreles said it is his right to own a gun and fire it when, and where, he wants. He is being booked on seven counts of wanton endangerment 1st degree, carrying a concealed weapon, no operators license and tampering with physical evidence. Also,he becomes our Nincompoop in the News.
