A California man is behind bars after he allegedly started randomly shooting and killing more than 80 animals in a vineyard.

The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office started receiving several shots fired calls shortly before 3:30 a.m. Tuesday in the area of the 16000 block of Avery Lane. Deputies rushed to the scene and heard shots, but because of the darkness and heavy vegetation, they could not immediately find the shooter. They issued a shelter-in-place order for the people who lived nearby and, with the help of a drone, located the suspect and an apparent crashed vehicle.
