A Florida man is behind bars after troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol said he shot at cows while inside of a car.

According to news station WFTV, Elvis Antonio Artola, 33, is accused of shooting at cows with an AR-15 on the Florida Turnpike.

Trooper Konner Achors was on patrol Sunday when he received a call that someone in a blue Hyundai Sonata was shooting at cows in Kissimmee, the news station reports. Achors said Artola was in the passenger seat and denied firing off a rifle.
