Disturbed by a blaring car alarm in the neighborhood, a Simi Valley man decided to do something about it.

Shortly after the incessant screeching began about 10 p.m. Tuesday outside the Yosemite Avenue apartment, the man identified the source of the noise as a white Toyota Camry and shot it. At least three times.

Police arrested David Owen Rye, 48, without incident after a neighbor called to report gunshots. An officer who was in the area investigating an unrelated crime also heard the discharge of the 9-millimeter semiautomatic pistol.

Rye, a manager at a Ralphs supermarket in Newbury Park, was booked into the Ventura County Jail on suspicion of shooting a firearm with gross negligence, and vandalism. If convicted on both felony counts, he would face up to 44 months in state prison and fines of up to $10,000. He remained in custody Wednesday in lieu of $50,000 bail.

Simi Valley Mayor Paul Miller, the city's former police chief, denounced the actions as reckless.

It should be a crime having a car alarm that goes off randomly. Those things are fuckin' annoying.

I guess the charge of suspicion of shooting a firearm with gross negligence, and vandalism have a maximum fine of 44 months and 10 000. That doesn't mean he'll get that.
