At approximately 12:45 p.m., deputies received reports of a man waving a gun around at 10833 Seminole Boulevard in Largo. Munoz was later identified as the individual. Deputies stated that Munoz got into a vehicle with his mother, and during the drive to a Wells Fargo bank located at 8700 Bryan Dairy Road, he began a verbal altercation. Munoz allegedly grabbed his mother’s hair, pulled her head back against the headrest, and placed a BB gun to the back of her head, demanding she withdraw $20.
