Upset about waiting for his food, a Denny's customer expressed his displeasure early Tuesday by walking outside and firing at least three pistol shots, Orlando police said.

Immediately after the 3:27 a.m. gunfire, Frederick Louis Sims is accused of speeding away from the eatery at 3957 S. Kirkman Road in a Cadillac Escalade with several friends, a report states.

When police stopped the vehicle, they found a .22-cal. Ruger pistol under Sims' seat, along with a marijuana cigarette, the report said. The pistol was ready to fire with one cartridge in the chamber and four more in the magazine, according to police.

Officers confiscated the pistol, the joint and charged Sims, 31, wiith discharging a firearm in public and possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis. Sims, whose address is on Ivey Lane in Orlando, was being held in the Orange County Jail in lieu of $2,600 bail.
