FORT MYERS, Fla. — A Florida woman is sitting in the Lee County Jail Sunday after pulling a gun on a car she thought was skipping the line to get gas at a Fort Myers gas station.

The Fort Myers Police Department said 59-year-old Terri Lynn Johns was arrested for pointing a gun at a car with two women who she felt were trying to skip the line to get gas Sunday.
