MONROE COUNTY, Ga. — Four people were arrested Saturday after allegedly firing shots from their car in Monroe County.

A Facebook post from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office says around 2:48 p.m., deputies were called to Virginia Lee Boulevard for shots fired from a car.

When on scene, the post says deputies talked with several witnesses, who gave a description of the car. The witnesses say the car quickly left the area after the shots were fired.

Several shell casings were also found on the road and road's shoulder.

  • Dimitrius Gillen, charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, reckless conduct, and possession of marijuana
  • Andrew Clark, charged with reckless conduct
  • Haley Williams, charged with being a party to a crime
  • Brittany Miller, charged with removing a license plate with intent to conceal identity and being a party to a crime

The post says deputies also found three guns, ammunition, and marijuana in the car.
