A passenger from a Toyota Corolla is handcuffed after the Colorado State Patrol stopped the car Saturday morning on U.S. Highway 40. A caller reported that a passenger in the Toyota was waving a handgun as the car traveled east near Steamboat II. The weapon turned out to be an air-powered pellet gun, State Patrol Sgt. Scott Elliott said. Jesse McAndrew, 19, of Hayden, was shooting out a window at signs and ditches, Elliott said. McAndrew was cited for disorderly conduct. The situation wasn't as serious as authorities thought it was, Elliott said. "Obviously, we ask that people not do that," Elliott said. "It was suggested that if they want to shoot that they go to the range." The driver, a 15-year-old girl, was cited for driving without a valid license and not having proof of insurance, Elliott said. Both were released after the citations, he said. Steamboat Springs police and Routt County Sheriff's officials also responded to the call, which came at about 11 a.m.
