MONROEVILLE, Ala. (AP) A man has been convicted of shooting into his girlfriend's car because she didn't fix him toast for breakfast.
Brian Heath Harrison, 23, of Excel, was found guilty Tuesday of firing into an occupied vehicle. He faces a prison sentenced of up to 20 years.
Gena Mixon, 19, told authorities Harrison became violent when she didn't toast his bread on Jan. 8, 2001.
She testified he dragged her by her hair, choked her, held a rifle to her head and put the barrel in her mouth. After Mixon packed her things and tried to leave, she said Harrison shot her car twice.
Defense attorney Laura Grant called the shooting an accident and said her client would appeal.
Harrison was convicted of shooting into an occupied dwelling eight years ago, court records show. Investigators said he fired a shot into a mobile home, missing a toddler's head by inches.
Harrison was released from prison weeks before the 2001 shooting.
