HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla – The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a man after a nonfatal shooting that occurred Monday at a Brandon McDonald’s.
Deputies arrested Monte Outlaw, 25, after completing an investigation of the shooting, which left 18-year-old Jeremiah Lawson in the hospital.
According to investigators, at 8:35 p.m., Lawson and Outlaw met outside the McDonald’s in Brandon.
They had planned to use the internet and charge their devices inside when some type of argument transpired, causing Outlaw to reach into his waistband, pull out a firearm, and shoot Lawson in the nose.
It has been determined the firearm was a BB gun, deputies say.
Outlaw has now been arrested more than three times in six months, and has been charged with:
- Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon (x2)
- Grand Theft Third Degree
- Battery Second or Subsequent Offense
“I’m appalled this man chose to turn his argument violent, and I’m proud of our deputies’ swift investigation and arrest,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “This man will have a long time to think about his actions in the confines of the Falkenburg Road Jail.”
