A Miami man is facing charges in a bizarre incident that involved him allegedly trying to remove an American flag from a car and opening fire on the vehicle, authorities said.<\/p>\n
David Allen Snyder Jr., 33, was arrested Wednesday on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, attempted second-degree murder, discharging a firearm from a vehicle and improper exhibition of a firearm, Miami-Dade jail records showed.<\/p>\n
According to an arrest report, Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies had responded to the area of the 25200 block of South Dixie Highway for an assault call and a deputy spotted Snyder pointing a gun at the victim’s vehicle.<\/p>\n
The deputy told Snyder to drop the gun and put his hands up, and he was taken into custody, the report said.<\/p>\n
While Snyder was being placed in the deputy’s vehicle he spontaneously said “this is an act of war,” the report said.<\/p>\n
Investigators spoke with the victims who said they were stopped at a light when they saw Snyder trying to remove an American flag attached to their vehicle.<\/p>\n
They said they fled to get away from him but he followed them, pointing a gun at them multiple times, the report said.<\/p>\n
At one point, they heard a gunshot while they were in the parking lot of a shopping plaza, shortly before deputies arrived and took Snyder into custody.<\/p>\n
Inside Snyder’s car investigators found a firearm and a spent casing, and he was arrested and booked into jail, the report said.<\/p>\n
Snyder appeared before a judge on Thursday, who appointed him a public defender and set his bond at $18,000. He was also given house arrest with a GPS monitor and curfew from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., and ordered not to possess weapons. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Miami man is facing charges in a bizarre incident that involved him allegedly trying to remove an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8730,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124,373],"class_list":["post-252634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news","tag-miami-dade-county"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252634\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
