\u201cPolice, please, we\u2019re being shot at,\u201d Davis said, according to the 911 call, with his fianc\u00e9e adding the shots appeared to be coming from a BB gun.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The furious Floridian then proceeded to tail the teens\u2019 vehicle, shouting at the crew to \u201cpull over now!\u201d according to police and a recording of the 911 call. <\/p>\n

Davis then pulled a 9mm handgun on the gaggle of teens who had stopped their vehicle, demanding that they \u201cget the f\u2013k out of the car,\u201d according to cops and witness video.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Officers arrived on scene soon after and quickly diffused the situation, taking Davis\u2019 firearm and arresting him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy are we pointing guns at kids?\u201d an incredulous Port St. Lucie police officer asks Davis, before taking his pistol, according to body-worn camera footage of the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An investigation by officers on the scene quickly pieced together that the teens had shot at Davis\u2019 car under the impression that the vehicle was that of a friend who they\u2019d been trying to prank, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They also realized that the gun being used wasn\u2019t a BB gun \u2013 but a glorified water gun.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cops later charged Davis with aggravated assault and false imprisonment of a child. The teenage Orbeez shooter was hit with a charge for throwing a missile at an occupied vehicle.<\/p>\n
