A 24-year-old was arrested early Friday morning, after a man was shot in the foot outside the Lazy V Bar, authorities said.
At about 2:30 a.m., deputies responded to a reported shooting in the area of South Cardinal Avenue and West Drexel Road, arriving soon enough to hear the gunshots as they were fired, said a Pima County Sheriff's Department press release.
They found the victim, a 33-year-old man who had been shot in the foot, and apprehended a suspect shortly after about a block away from the bar.
Aaron Anthony Adams was booked into the Pima County jail on charges of aggravated assault, weapons misconduct and possession of marijuana,Β according to the news release.
The investigation is ongoing, but detectives have learned that before the shooting, two men were harassing a woman at the bar who went outside to smoke. A male friend of the woman went out to check on her and got into a verbal altercation with the men.
During the argument, Adams pulled out a revolver and shot the victim in the foot, the release said.
The investigation is ongoing.
