A Sioux Falls man has been arrested after police say he shot at people who stole a cell phone he was trying to sell.

Public Information Officer Sam Clemens said officers were called to 6th Street and Cleveland Avenue for a report of gunshots on Sunday around 6:30 p.m.

Officers found shell casings near a gas station and reviewed surveillance video.

The suspect, who police later identified as 21-year-old Sheldon Robert Pettibone, set up a meeting though Facebook to sell a cell phone he had wiped clean.

When he gave the phone to the "buyers," the two people ran off without paying. Pettibone ran after them and fired a gun a couple of times before getting in a vehicle and leaving, Clemens said.

Shortly after police reviewed the surveillance video, Metro Communications received a call from a man who said his cell phone had been stolen. The address where the call came from matched the address that belonged to the shooter's vehicle in the video.

Officers arrested Pettibone for reckless discharge of a firearm and discharging a firearm in city limits. They also found a .40 caliber handgun in his apartment.

Police received no reports of injuries or damage from the gunshots.

Officers are looking for the people who stole the cell phone. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 367-7007.
