We All Scream for Ice Cream

OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - An Oklahoma ice cream man opened fire on a customer after a summer ice cream sale turned sour, police said on Tuesday.

Police in Enid, about 75 miles north of Oklahoma City, said they arrested Markus Miller, 29, an ice cream truck driver for Summer Song, on Sunday on two misdemeanor charges as well as a felony charge of pointing a firearm.


If convicted, Miller could receive up to 10 years in jail on the felony charge.

hold it, he shot at the person, that is a misdemeanor, but pointing the gun is a felony? strange.

1. Damn now I want some ice cream

but not if the maniac in the truck is shooting at me.

2. Of course.

Pointing a gun at someone would be felony assault.

Actually shooting the gun, but not trying to hit someone is a misdemeanor shooting a gun somewhere you shouldn't. If he shot her in the head, that would be a felony.

Sounds silly, but the law sounds silly a lot of times.

Kind of odd that the cop sez carrying a gun while selling ice cream is illegal and unusual. Maybe here in NJ it is, but that's in Oklahoma.
