Arizona police arrest man for shooting at the moon

PHOENIX (Reuters) - A marijuana smoker was arrested in Arizona after shooting at the moon with a handgun and wrestling with officers who were called by his girlfriend to subdue him, authorities said on Wednesday.

Police went to a home in Prescott Valley, about 85 miles north of Phoenix, late last Friday where the woman told them her partner had fired several shots into the air after telling her and her teenage son he had seen Halley's Comet.

Prescott Valley police spokesman Sergeant Brandon Bonney said Cameron Read, 39, was arrested after a struggle and admitted firing multiple times and "trying to shoot the moon."

Bonney said Read also confessed to smoking marijuana before the incident, and told officers he had not wanted to hurt anyone.

I do that regularly. First, I pass my low hearts, unless I have a lot of high hearts to cover. Then I dump my low club on the 2, and then lead a medium spade until hearts are broken, and I take all the tricks.

There was a guy in my neighborhood that was literally building a “Stairway to Heaven”.

I’m sure he wasn’t arrested.

The moon is moving quite fast and gravity causes more drop than you expect, so you'll have to shoot high and lead the target by about ten degrees.

Or a Vice President perhaps? Following Biden's advice will get a person arrested. I know a well respected guy in my neighborhood who was arrested for firing a warning shot in the air on his own property.

If he hit it, he would cause lead pollution.
