Terry McCutcheon sure hates hip-hop.

Police in Newport arrested the 44-year-old after they say he pointed a loaded gun at three teenagers streaming music as they crossed a parking lot Sunday night.

"We heard him cock the gun and just took off running," Jose Bravo, 18, told The Oregonian/OregonLive in an interview Tuesday.

Bravo and his two buddies had just left Fred Meyer and were walking by the Mini Pet Mart near U.S. 101 when a man in a black pickup truck took issue with the tunes they had playing on a Bluetooth speaker.

As the recent high school graduates grooved to PnB Rock's "Selfish," the man hopped out of his pickup and confronted them, Bravo said.

"The guy was like, 'Yo, play some good music.' And we were like, 'Yo, mind your own business," Bravo recalled.

But the man continued to pester them.

"So I turned around and, you know, being the teenager that I am, told him to shut the f--- up," Bravo said.

That apparently triggered McCutcheon.

The man pulled a loaded gun from his pickup, "racked the slide" and trained the firearm at Bravo and his friends, according to a police report.

The three young men bolted immediately and later called the cops. A Newport police officer soon located McCutcheon inside his truck at nearby Safeway parking lot.

The suspect was visibly intoxicated and had a loaded handgun with him, police said.

"McCutcheon admitted he had made a mistake, and knew it right away," the police report reads.

He was lodged in the Lincoln County jail on suspicion of menacing, pointing a firearm at another person and unlawful use of a weapon.

Bravo said he's still a little shaken up.

"You got to be scared of people who are intoxicated more than gang members," Bravo said. "Those people will actually give you the chance to run."
