Dover police officers arrested a store clerk Saturday after they say he fired a handgun following an argument with a customer.

At approximately 8:55 a.m. a 39-year-old man entered the Fulton Deli, Cpl. Mark Hoffman said. While inside, the victim had an argument with 58-year-old store clerk Mahyoub Ali over some spilled coffee, Hoffman said. The victim left the store but was followed by Ali, who once outdoors fired on shot into the air near the victim, Hoffman said.

Ali was arrested and charged with reckless endangering, aggravated menacing and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony.

As of 5 p.m. Saturday, no additional information was available.
