31-year-old Brett Shannon Peterson pointed a gun at a group of guests, including Donavin Levor Moyd, outside of the West Trinity Lane Hallmark Inn late May 10th. The initial caller described a white male, later identified as Peterson, with a mustache, wearing a gray tank top, who had driven away in a turquoise F-150 STX. When officers arrived, Moyd advised them that Peterson had circled the parking lot a few times before aiming his handgun at them, adding that the gun was a semi-automatic with a wooden grip and a black barrel. Then, witnesses told them the truck was blue and had a brown toolbox in the bed. While officers were investigating, a witness pointed out the F-150 driving eastbound on West Trinity Lane. Officers followed Peterson, during which he ran a red light near Brick Church Pike and Ewing Drive before pulling into Citgo, where officers initiated a stop. When officers approached him, they noticed he matched the description provided by witnesses and located the handgun on his dashboard. Then, officers performed a “show-up,” where Moyd and a witness identified Peterson. Later, officers found footage of the occurrence, which showed Peterson in a blue truck, pointing the gun at the crowd, causing them to flee. While officers were speaking with Peterson, he reeked of alcohol and showed multiple signs of intoxication. Officers tried to prompt him with sobriety tests, but he could not finish due to him being handcuffed. Peterson refused to provide a chemical sample and was then taken into custody for an implied consent violation, driving under the influence, weapon possession while being under the influence, and aggravated assault.
