Don Pedro, CA — A man was arrested in south Tuolumne County after pulling out a handgun and firing a shot.

Jeff Wilson, Sheriff’s Office Spokesperson. “Kennedy objected to the relationship and a heated argument began.”
No one was hit by the bullet. Kennedy was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon. It happened Sunday afternoon at two o’clock.
