A verbal dispute outside the Outlook Pub in Sarasota County turned violent on Sunday night, leading to the arrest of 24-year-old Colby Moran. The confrontation, which began around 10:40 p.m. in the 800 block of U.S. 41 N. Bypass in Venice, escalated when both individuals armed themselves with guns.

Law enforcement officers from the Venice Police Department intercepted Moran's vehicle nearby and detained him until Sarasota County Sheriff's deputies arrived.
Moran now faces serious charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, and firing a weapon from a vehicle. The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, with assistance from the Venice Police Department, is continuing its investigation into the incident.
