Arizona Man Arrested After Trying to Shoot the Moon

Yeah, we’ll go out on a limb and say that bullet isn’t going to have the distance.

According to the Arizona Republic, a man in Prescott Valley was arrested on suspicion of unlawfully discharging a firearm after telling police he was trying to shoot the moon.

Cameron Read’s girlfriend called 911 Friday night to report her boyfriend had fired several shots at her residence and was still armed. When police arrived on the scene, Read resisted arrest, refused to leave and began causing damage to the house, so officers arrested him by using force.

Witnesses said Read was talking about seeing Halley’s Comet, which won’t be visible until 2061, before he “fired a round out the window.” They wisely decided to flee the house and told police they heard more shots while doing so.

Once in custody, Read told authorities he was attempting to shoot the moon with his handgun but wasn’t trying to harm any people. He also admitted to smoking marijuana before firing a few rounds at the moon.

Seeing Halley’s Comet? Firing your handgun at the moon? Let’s be honest. It seems like Read was smoking some pretty good shit.
