EL PASO, TEXAS — A man in Texas was arrested on Monday after a video surfaced online of the guy randomly firing gunshots through an open window of a moving car.

In the video, the man is seen smiling in the backseat as he starts firing while cars pass by on El Paso's Patriot Freeway.

The video was initially posted on to social media after which it was picked up by a local gossip site Fit Fam El Paso, according to ABC News.

This caught the attention of the El Paso police. Authorities posted a tweet on December 21 saying that they are looking into the incident.

The next day, the police called for the unidentified man to turn himself in and "make it a lesson learned."

On December 23, Jonathan Jay Oneal, turned himself in. The cops said that he was arrested on charges of discharging a firearm in certain municipalities.

In a news release, the police said that Oneal was booked into the El Paso County Detention Facility on a US$50,000 bond.
