A heavily intoxicated man was arrested Tuesday after police say he fired a handgun at a north Tallahassee hotel then fled officers.

Andrew L. Saylor, 32, ran from Tallahassee Police when officers arrived at the Suburban Extended Stay Hotel on Silver Slipper Lane at about 9:50 p.m.

A handgun was visible in his pocket as officers chased him on foot. He was taken into custody in possession of a loaded 9mm handgun and a small amount of marijuana.

Officers found shots had been fired at the building where there were occupied rooms.

Saylor was hospitalized due to his level of intoxication before being taken to the Leon County Detention Facility.

He faces charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, firing a weapon into a dwelling, tampering with evidence, possession of a firearm while intoxicated, resisting an officer without violence and possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana.
