Authorities say Gaines’ girlfriend told police Gaines had a history of firing his gun into the air when he got intoxicated and did so after they left the restaurant.
Court records say Gaines’ first felony was for striking a man in the head with a branch during a 2008 robbery. He was paroled in January after being convicted of selling drugs to an undercover Springfield detective.
