Police said a West Des Moines man fired several rounds into a bar and restaurant on the north side of Des Moines in early June after he was asked to leave the establishment.

Due to disorderly behavior, Gregory Schuldt, 34, was asked to leave Michelle's Lounge, at 3925 E. 14th St., just before midnight on June 5, according to a criminal complaint.

Schuldt left the building and got on a motorcycle. He then drove past the building, shooting seven rounds from a .40 caliber pistol into the occupied bar "without justification or provocation," according to the complaint.

Police said Schuldt fired into the building "with the intent to injure or provoke fear into the occupants."

Several witnesses identified Schuldt after the incident, according to the complaint.

He faces charges of intimidation with a dangerous weapon to injure or provoke fear, going armed with intent, control of a firearm by domestic abuse and driving while barred.

A hearing for Schuldt is set for July 12.
