Police responding to shots fired found armed pirate on bridge

Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to “shots fired” reports on the old Seven Mile Bridge in Marathon, Florida, on Monday night
They found a man in full pirate costume packing operational black-powder pistols in holsters on each hip. Jamie Spiering, 58, was also allegedly armed with a sword and two knives.
Spiering told deputies he was on the bridge with friends for sunset. He said there were no projectiles in the pistols, and that he had fired them toward the water. But witnesses told a different story, said Deputy Becky Herrin, the Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman.
They said Spiering fired one shot in the direction of cars traveling on the functioning Seven Mile Bridge, which runs parallel to the old bridge, now only used by pedestrians. Spiering was arrested and booked into county jail on a misdemeanor county of disturbing the peace. He was released on $328 bail later that night.
