A Florida man suspected of shooting at a friend's car faces up to five years in prison for refusing to turn in his firearms, including an AR-15, under the state's recently adopted 'red flag' law.

It took a Broward County jury less than an hour to find 33-year-old Jerron Smith guilty last week.

Smith, a US Army veteran from Deerfield Beach, was the first in Florida to be charged with defying the law, which went into effect following last year's Parkland high school shooting.

Smith refused to surrender his cache of weapons and ammunition to law enforcement officials in March 2018 following an incident in which the suspect was accused of repeatedly shooting at a car during an argument, authorities said.

According to a criminal complaint, Smith, described by a neighbor to Local10 as a US Army veteran, fired at least a half-dozen shots at the car of his 'best friend,' identified as Jackson Levon, while the victim was in the driver's seat.

The document states that Levon arrived at Smith's home just before 10.30pm on March 28, 2018, to return his friend's cellphone.

Smith allegedly pulled a gun on Levon and threatened to shoot him if he did not give him back his phone at once.

According to the complaint, Levon told Smith he would go to the store and return a short time later. As he attempted to drive away, Smith allegedly opened fire on his friend's car. The driver was shaken but escaped unharmed.

Smith is still awaiting trial on charges of attempted murder and shooting into a vehicle in connection with that incident.

A week later, Broward County sheriff's deputies and SWAT officers arrived at Smith's homer at 218 SW 3rd Street to seize all off his weapons under a 'Risk Protection Order.'

Smith now faces up to five years in prison for breaking the 'red flag' law. He also has a separate trial pending on charges of attempted murder and shooting into a vehicle

'Smith refused to cooperate by stating "I plead the fifth and I have the right to remain silent," and later refused deputies access to his residence,' according to a complaint affidavit.

Deputies later returned to Smith's home with a signed search warrant and seized firearms, ammunition and related items from his bedroom, including an AR-15 riffle, a bump stock, a Glock handgun, a .22-caliber rifle and bullets.

Under Florida's 'red flag' law, authorities with backing from a judge can seek to remove weapons from people who pose a danger to themselves and others. Florida is one of 15 states with such laws.

Smith's attorney unsuccessfully argued during his trial last week that he did not fully understand the new law, reported Sun Sentinel.

A sentencing date has not been set.
