A group in Tumon experienced a scare over the weekend after a reported shooting. Authorities said the alleged shooter was apparently drunk. 

That man is now facing charges in local court. 

Twenty-seven-year-old Perry Jamal Benitez is charged with unlawful discharge of a firearm and reckless conduct.

Court documents state he was tracking his cell phone when it pinged near a group of three people in Tumon on Saturday.

Documents state it was after the group denied knowing anything about his phone that they heard Benitez rack what sounded like a gun before hearing a loud bang. 

Others walking by allegedly told police they hid behind a metal container after seeing Benitez fire into the air. 

Benitez allegedly denied pulling the trigger but officers did find a shell casing at the scene. 

Benitez has since been released on a $1,000 bond.
