CALLAWAY — One man was shot multiple times and another man is in jail following an argument over a shattered beer bottle Friday night, a Bay County Sheriff’s Office news release said Saturday.
The victim was shot in the jaw, arm and pelvis with a handgun, the news release stated. He is in critical condition at a local hospital. BCSO declined to release the victim’s name Saturday, saying it was not available.
Arrested was Torie Lee Michael Robinson, BCSO said.
Police believe the victim had been in a car with two friends when he dropped a beer bottle onto a driveway in the 5200 block of Lee Drive. Two bystanders saw it and demanded the victim pick up the bottle, which had shattered in an area “that children often played,” the release stated.
The man began picking up the pieces of glass, however, the two parties continued to argue. The victim then punched one of the men, the release stated.
Robinson, one of the two bystanders, took out a handgun and fired four times, hitting the victim three times.
The incident happened just before 8 p.m. Friday.
Robinson turned himself in to law enforcement overnight and was arrested and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.
This is not Robinson’s first arrest. He was arrested twice in 2010, once for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and another time for carrying a concealed weapon. He had been previously charged with cocaine possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was found guilty on the drug and concealed weapon charges, and pleaded no contest to aggravated assault, according to court records.
