Clearwater Police Arrest Lutz Man After He Fires Handgun Out Of Sunroof On Memorial Causeway Bridge

Clearwater Police arrested a 28-year-old Lutz man this morning for firing a handgun out of the open sunroof of his car on the Memorial Causeway bridge.

The incident happened about 9 a.m. Several calls came in to the police department about a Volvo traveling west on the causeway with the driver shooting a gun out of the vehicle.

Officers began searching for the car and located it minutes later in the 500 block of South Gulfview Blvd., where 28 year-old Jelani Dixon was arrested.

Police say more than a half-dozen shots were fired from the Ruger .40-caliber semi-automatic handgun, which was recovered from the car.

Multiple pedestrians were on the bridge at the time of the incident. No injuries were reported.

Dixon was charged with discharging a firearm from a vehicle in public. He is being held in the Pinellas County Jail on $10,000 bail.
