Authorities in Fairhope took two men and a woman into custody after one of them allegedly shot at Sonic Drive-in employees who asked them to leave on Saturday night because their music was too loud.

The Fairhope Police Department said they arrested Demerious Larez Reynolds, 19, Romarius Kentrell Shephard, 19, and Heaven Dawn McClintock, 21, all from Foley, in connection with the crime.

Fairhope PD Spokesman Craig Sawyer said the incident took place at the Sonic Drive-In Restaurant located at 321 South Greeno Road at approximately 11:25 p.m. on Saturday.

He said officers responded to a report of gunshots in the parking lot.

According to witnesses, several suspects were allegedly smoking marijuana in a white Chevrolet Malibu in the parking lot. He said the suspects were playing the car stereo at an unreasonably loud volume.

Restaurant employees told the subjects to leave when one of the suspects allegedly pointed a pistol at several employees.

As the car was leaving, numerous gunshots were fired in the parking lot.

No injuries were reported and no property was damaged. Investigators later recovered numerous spent .45 caliber and .380 caliber shell casings in the parking lot.

A description of the white Chevrolet Malibu was given to responding officers and they were able to locate the car.

When officers stopped the vehicle, they recovered approximately three ounces of marijuana and a loaded Draco brand AK-47 rifle. Sawyer said the rifle appeared to have been shortened and it was below the federally required length of 26 inches.

Police also found a loaded Glock .45 caliber pistol, a loaded Ruger .380 caliber pistol with a serial number that had been scratched off and a loaded Taurus .38 caliber revolver.

Reynolds was charged with possessing a stolen firearm, possessing a firearm with an altered/removed serial number, possession of a short barreled rifle, and reckless endangerment.

Shephard was charged with possessing a stolen firearm, possession of marijuana, and reckless endangerment.

Both men were booked at the Fairhope Municipal Jail and subsequently transferred to the Baldwin County Corrections Center.

McClintock was charged with complicity. Sawyer said she was driving the vehicle. She was booked at the Fairhope Municipal Jail and has been released pending court appearance.

The 17-year-old juvenile female and a 20-year-old male, who were also present in the car at the time, were released without charges.

Sawyer said that although the AK-47 that was seized was loaded with rifle ammunition, investigators are following-up on the possibility that it was manufactured as an "AK Pistol" and not as a rifle.

If tests reveal the weapon was originally manufactured as a pistol designed to fire rifle ammunition, the department will recommend dismissing the charge of possessing a short barreled rifle.

Sawyer said since the firearm was previously reported as stolen, the charge of possessing a stolen firearm will stand.

The Fairhope Police Department strongly encourages firearm owners to be responsible and to keep their weapons stored in a secure location, after this arrest.

Sawyer said the investigation into the incident is ongoing and if anyone has additional information they can contact the Fairhope Police Department at 251-928-2385.
