Sioux Falls police have arrested a man who shot his gun into the air near a local bar in downtown early Sunday.

David Anthony Burton, 28, of Sioux Falls, has been charged with reckless discharge of a firearm, having a loaded firearm while intoxicated, simple assault, being a fugitive from justice and having warrants for driving while intoxicated.

Officers responded to a call about a fight at 1:30 a.m. Sunday near South Phillips Avenue and West Ninth Street, near PAve, police spokesman Sam Clemens said.

When officers arrived, they couldn't find a suspect and no one had much information to provide, he said. Three or four minutes later, witnesses heard a gun shot and were able to point out who did it to police, Clemens said.

"It was the same person who was causing problems, or trying to start fights," Clemens said. "He apparently shot a gun into the air. Nobody was hurt, and I'm not exactly sure why he did that."

Officers arrested Burton, and found the gun nearby, Clemens said.
