A Palm Coast man has been charged with disturbing the peace and discharging a firearm while under the influence of alcohol after he fired a gun Tuesday when a basketball rolled into his yard, according to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.

A 16-year-old told deputies he was playing basketball when the ball rolled into the yard of Theodore Van Beveren shortly after 8 p.m. on Providence Lane. Van Beveren walked out of his garage as the teen went to get the ball back, the Sheriff's Office said. The 56-year-old man then fired once into the ground.

The teen was not injured and ran away.

Two loaded firearms were found in the garage as well as a half-empty bottle of vodka next to the chair where Van Beveren was sitting, authorities said.

Van Beveren also faces a charge of culpable negligence.

He was released after posting $750 cash bond, the Sheriff's Office said.

Van Beveren was arrested in 2009 on charges of brandishing a firearm or weapon and violating the concealed weapons permit as well as a DUI charge, according to jail records.
