A man named Elvis Antonio Artola, 30, is in jail facing several charges after shooting at cows with an AR-15 on Florida’s Turnpike, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Artola, listed as being from West Palm Beach by the Orange County Jail, was booked Sunday after a trooper pulled over a Hyundai Sonata on the turnpike in Orange County because of a call saying someone in the car was shooting at cows, WFTV reported.

According to the FHP, Artola was in the passenger seat of the car. Troopers said the driver told them he stopped on the side of the turnpike so Artola could go the restroom. The driver then said Artola left the car with a rifle and fired into the woods several times, according to WFTV.

After getting back into the car, the driver told police Artola fired the AR-15 out the car window several more times, saying he wasn’t sure if Artola was trying to hit cows or just “shooting to shoot.”
