A 23-year-old Vancouver, Washington man remains jailed after allegedly firing a 9mm pistol out the window of a stolen car. He’ll have a tough time denying it because he posted a video of the incident on YouTube.
Ronnie “Ron Gotti” Michael Wynn was arrested in July after crashing the stolen car.
Investigators discovered several videos on his YouTube and Facebook pages, one showing him holding a gun out the window firing at least one shot. The YouTube videos have since been removed.
“You heard that?” he asks a female passenger filming him. “.45 (expletive),” he says.
Later in the video, the two are seen driving through what looks like a residential neighborhood with tires squealing. He’s also seen holding his uncle’s Airsoft rifle.
In another video going viral, Wynn is shown in the passenger seat with a handgun on the floor between his feet. He claims he got it after selling some other guns he stole from his uncle.
The Columbian reports court documents show Wynn broke into his uncle’s home and stole a number of guns, a wristwatch and some checks, then sold them for cash, drugs and other property, including the gun.
Wynn is being held on numerous charges.
