A South Carolina man who still shares a home with his ex-wife allegedly cocked his gun Friday to “ruin the mood” after hearing her having sex with her boyfriend in a nearby bedroom, officials said.
Allen Riggs, 24, started banging on the walls of their Myrtle Beach duplex in an effort to quiet the couple down shortly before 12:30 a.m., an incident report obtained by The Smoking Gun shows.
Riggs and the woman are “ex-spouses for approximately 2 years and live together,” cops said.
After the couple ignored Riggs’ pleas, the frustrated ex allegedly ran to his car to retrieve his firearm and racked the gun outside their bedroom before retreating to the living room.
When the woman exited the room for a glass of water, Riggs rushed up to her — with the gun still in his hands — and told her that if she went back upstairs she would “die.”
Riggs told cops he became “upset” when he heard his ex-wife having sex and had “banged on the wall to try and get them to quit.” He turned to his gun only “after that method failed,” he said.
Police confiscated a 9mm pistol from Riggs.
He was booked into the county jail on felony domestic violence charges in lieu of $100,000 bond.
