A Fort Myers woman was arrested early Sunday morning after being accused of fighting another woman and firing a gun inside a Collier County Waffle House.
According to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to the scene at the Waffle House at 6531 Dudley Drive at 2:58 a.m. after reports of two women fighting.
Deputies say BF, 35, of Fort Myers, was separated from a fight when she pulled out a gun and tried to hand it off to another woman.
In the process of trying to hand it off, Fletcher unintentionally pointed it at multiple people, and the magazine eventually fell out of the gun, according to the CCSO report.
F then dropped the gun, and while picking it up, pulled the trigger, discharging a bullet.
While the responding deputy was speaking to another person, he said he heard the gunshot go off. The deputy looked in the direction of the gunfire and said he saw F with a gun in her hand, while a man wrestled the firearm away.
F then dropped the gun, and it was kicked toward the deputy. No one was hit or injured by the gunshot.
According to the CCSO report, the incident was witnessed by multiple people and captured on surveillance video.
F was placed under arrest, and after being cleared by EMS, was transported to the Naples Jail Center. She faces charges of improper exhibit of a firearm and disorderly conduct.
