20-year-old man fires shots on South Winslow Court in attempt to wake up friend

 

A 20-year-old Indianapolis man was arrested early Saturday morning after firing six rounds into the air, Bloomington Police Department Sgt. Brandon Siniard said.

Robert Samuels told police he went to a South Winslow Court apartment to wake up a friend. When that didn’t work, he made noise with a handgun.

Police received several calls around 5 a.m. from people who heard shots.

Samuels fired six rounds into the air, Siniard said. No one was injured, and no property was damaged.

It was the day after Samuels’ birthday.

He was arrested on preliminary charges of criminal recklessness and possession of a handgun without a license.
