A man accused of shooting at a man about 28 times was arrested Thursday.
On Feb.13, Jessie Lee Miller Jr., 30, from Ocala, drove to a field at 819 NE 17th St. and searched for the man, according to a Gainesville Police arrest report. When Miller found the man, Miller reached into the car and got a rifle.
Miller went up to him and began arguing about money, the report said. When he started arguing back, Miller raised the rifle.

He ran, and Miller started shooting, the report said. Afterwards, Miller drove away.
When police arrived, they found 28 shell casings that are commonly used with AK-47s, the report said. Surveillance footage showed multiple shots from the rifle, people running and a black sedan driving away.
The day after, police were told of a similar car with bullet holes and a flat tire near the scene, the report said. The car was registered to Miller.
A witness also told police that when Miller swept the rifle around to try and hit the victim, he shot his car, the report said.
Miller was charged with attempted murder, possessing a firearm while being a felon and two charges for aggravated assault, the report said.
He remained in the Alachua County Jail Sunday in lieu of a $2.5 million bond.
