GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Curtis Ray Miller II, 25, was arrested last night and charged with aggravated assault after allegedly displaying a gun after the victim honked at him in a McDonald’s drive-thru.

Gainesville Police Department officers responded to the McDonald’s at 1206 W. University Avenue at about 11 p.m. after the victim reported that Miller had displayed a handgun.

The victim said he had honked at Miller in the drive-thru and that Miller had displayed the gun but had not pointed it at anyone. The victim reported that he immediately left the area and called 911.

When officers made contact with Miller, he reportedly said that he had a concealed carry permit. The officer reported that he removed an unholstered pistol from Miller’s lap that matched the description provided by the victim.
