Man arrested after gun incident 

An intoxicated 25-year-old Summerland Key man armed with a revolver was arrested early Sunday morning after attacking two women during a fight over his access to his car keys.

Andres Raymond Vega was charged with domestic battery, aggravated battery and battery on a person 65-years-old or older.

Multiple Deputies and Detectives responded to a residence on the 24000 block of Caribbean Drive West on Summerland Key at approximately 12:30 a.m. regarding  fight in progress with shots fired.

No life threatening injuries were reported.

They searched the house and did not initially find the suspect. They did find a 73-year-old female and a 43-year-old female with a bruised and swollen eye. Both females stated they would not give the suspect, later identified as Vega, his vehicle keys due to his intoxication. They stated Vega then choked the elder female and punched the younger female in the eye before he retrieved a revolver. The women stated that Vega placed the gun in his mouth and stated that he was going to kill himself if they didn’t give him the keys.

A neighbor heard the commotion, particularly someone say “gun.” The neighbor retrieved his handgun and went outside to protect his family. The neighbor stated he saw Vega run toward his house after the ruckus with the females. The neighbor stated Vega tried to open his front door and then tried to open a window. The neighbor stated he fired two warning shots into the air and Vega then fled the scene.

Vega returned while Deputies were on scene. He stated he fled because he was scared of being arrested.

Vega was taken to jail.
