4 teens involved in pointing firearm

Judd Morse Staff Writer

Ada Four Ada teenage girls were reportedly involved in an incident of feloniously pointing a firearm after allegedly pointing an airsoft pistol which had been painted to resemble a handgun at store clerks through a drive-thru window August 22.

Arresting Ada Police Officer Brad Rhoads stated in his narrative report that witnesses reported a green Ford Mustang with “chalk writing” on the back window pointing a firearm toward the drive-thru window of Karry Out Korner. The vehicle was stopped by APD as it headed northbound on Mississippi Ave. Officers then conducted a felony traffic stop on the vehicle.

A search of the vehicle uncovered a black handgun in the floorboard of the driver’s seat.

“It was later determined that the gun was an airsoft pistol,” Rhoads said in his report. “The barrel was orange but had been painted black. The gun appeared to be a real pistol.”

Courtney Bottoms, 19, the vehicle’s driver, claimed the incident was an ongoing joke, that she knew the clerks working at the store and that the clerks had previously pointed water guns at them. Passengers in the vehicle said they knew about the joke as well.

Clerks working at the time had mixed reactions to the incident, according to Rhoads’ report. The first clerk at the window mistook the alleged firearm as just a water gun. The first clerk said the girls began laughing and the driver said “just kidding.”

The report said the girls requested the first clerk send the second clerk to the window as well. When the second clerk approached the girls in the window, he thought the firearm was real. The second clerk said the girls asked him to give them cigarettes, and when he said “no,” the girls began laughing and the clerk realized that the gun wasn’t real.

“Both clerks advised that they did not know the girls and that they had never pointed any type of gun at them,” Rhoads said in the report.

Driver Bottoms was arrested on suspicion of feloniously pointing a firearm. Dava Taylor Thurman, 18, Kayce Nicole Bottoms, 18, and another 17-year-old girl were all arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit a felony.
