Police arrested a Casper man Thursday night for allegedly firing a gun after tempers rose during a game of Wii Bowling.

Braydon Lavoy Stringham, of Washington Street, is accused of shooting through a TV and into a bedroom where a 9-month-old baby was sleeping, according to a Casper police arrest affidavit. The baby was unharmed.

Stringham’s friend told police the two men were playing video games and drinking whiskey when he began “messing with” Stringham. After a scuffle, the friend went outside to smoke. When he returned Stringham was pointing a pistol at him, according to the affidavit.

The friend pushed Stringham’s arms in an attempt to redirect his aim before hearing a gunshot, he told police.

The friend then ran to his grandparents’ house, he told police.

When police arrived at the scene, they found a bullet hole in the TV, according to the affidavit. The investigation determined that the gunfire had come within 3 feet of the child’s crib.

According to the affidavit, when a police detective asked Stringham how he ended up at police headquarters he said, “Jack Daniels.”
