The man told deputies Ross became upset with him and pulled a gun out of a green Bible and hit him in the face and in the genitals with the gun.

Ross then told the man "If you call the cops, I'm going to make bond and I'm going to kill you," and then ran off, the man told deputies.

Deputies said they found Ross in the 4800 block of 35th Avenue in Vero Beach and asked about the incident. Ross told deputies he did not point a gun at anyone and didn't have a gun.
