A Tennessee man who was celebrating his divorce from his now ex-wife fired his gun in a celebratory fashion and was arrested.

According to WSMV, 26-year-old Juan Jose Vasquez, who is also known as Craig Jose Miller, is facing more than a dozen charges after he admittedly fired gunshots in downtown Nashville on April 1. He was detained and charged with several crimes, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, theft of property, drug possession, and assaulting officers.

Metro Nashville police officers were called to the scene after receiving a call regarding shots fired at a crowded intersection. When police arrived at the scene, they discovered Miller sitting at the corner of the intersection with a friend. He initially denied firing the gun but later admitted he did so because he had just divorced his wife. He let off eight shots “as a celebration for regaining my freedom,” according to the police affidavit.

WKRN reported that the police officers spoke to a delivery driver who told them that he heard some gunshots and saw Miller “waving a firearm around and shooting off two rounds in different directions.”
