MONROE COUNTY, Fla. – A 27-year-old Ponte Vedra Beach man was arrested Friday night after allegedly pointing a handgun at a man inside an Islamorada bar bathroom while demanding illegal drugs, according to authorities.
Ryan Glenn McDonough faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon following the July 31 incident.
Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the bar at approximately 11:11 p.m. The adult male victim told deputies he was inside the bathroom when McDonough confronted him and repeatedly asked for a “baggie,” which the victim understood to mean illegal drugs.
When the victim stated multiple times that he did not have or use drugs, McDonough pulled a black pistol from his waistband and pointed it directly at the victim’s face, according to the sheriff’s office.
Deputies located McDonough at the scene with a .45-caliber Glock in his possession. He was taken into custody and transported to jail.
No injuries were reported during the encounter.
