Firing a weapon from a car is a felony. Firing a gun into a business after making racial slurs towards an employee can get a person into even more trouble, especially if the bomb squad is called in to respond, as one New Tampa man has learned.
According to the Tampa Police Department (TPD), at 12:14 a.m. on August 21, Clay Sidney Allred, 29, of the Amberly Place apartments in Tampa Palms, walked into the Mobil station at Bruce B. Downs (BBD) Blvd. and E. Fowler Ave. and ended up in an argument with a store employee, identified as Hassan Qadratullan, 28, of Tampa.
During the argument, TPD reports that Allred allegedly made racial slurs about Qadratullan’s Arabic ethnicity.
