Woman Pulls Gun On Car She Thought Was Skipping Gas Line: Ft. Myers

FORT MYERS, FL — A North Fort Myers woman faces multiple charges after pulling a gun on two women in a car she thought were trying to skip a gas line on Saturday, the Fort Myers Police Department shared on Facebook.

Terri Lynn Johns, 59, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill and using or displaying a firearm during a felony, police said.

The women weren’t cutting the line, but instead were trying to make a U-turn in the congested traffic at the gas station, the agency added.

"This is the behaviors that will not be tolerated at any time, much less during this state of emergency,” FMPD wrote.

Gas availability is limited in the Fort Myers area following Hurricane Ian’s hit to Southwest Florida last week.

Because of this gas shortage, the open gas stations are facing long lines. As of Saturday morning, 49.9 percent of gas stations in Fort Myers had no gas, Fox 4 reported.
