'Could Have Ended Differently': Fort Pierce Couple Arrested for Firing Guns While Drinking Alcohol
Deputies said the pair fired a shotgun, rifle and handguns into the ground and were charged with firearm offenses while under the influence of alcohol.
- On Sept 12, 2026, Fort Pierce residents Tiffany Rose Lindo and Jacob Robert Mills, both 25, were arrested after deputies responded to reports of active gunfire at a residence on Happiness Street.

- Investigators confirmed Lindo and Mills had been consuming alcohol before and during the incident. Both face charges of discharging a firearm in a residential area and use of a firearm while under the influence of alcohol.
- Del Toro, the St. Lucie County Sheriff, stated, "It would be legal if you weren't using alcohol, but the fact that they were under the influence, that's what made it a second-degree misdemeanor."
