Man Cocks Gun To ‘Ruin The Mood’ After Hearing Former Wife Having Sex With Her Boyfriend

Myrtle Beach Police Department

A man from South Carolina who still resides with his former wife reportedly cocked his firearm on Friday to

“ruin the mood”

after hearing his ex engaging in sexual activity with her boyfriend in a bedroom nearby, officials say, reports the New York Post

24-year-old Allen Riggs began hitting the walls of their duplex in Mrtyle Beach to quiet his ex-wife and her boyfriend down not too long before 12:30 p.m., according to an incident report attained by The Smoking Gun. Officials say Riggs and the unidentified woman are

“ex-spouses for approximately 2 years and live together.” 

When the couple ignored the 24-year-old man, he then went to his vehicle to get his gun

“and racked the gun outside their bedroom before retreating to the living room,”

The Post reports.  

When his former wife left the room to get a glass of water, the man rushed to her with the firearm in his hand. He went on to threaten her, telling her that if she returned upstairs, she would

“die.”

Riggs informed officials that he grew angry after hearing his ex-wife having sex and admitted that he

“banged on the wall to try and get them to quit.” 

Reports say he retrieved his gun

“after that method failed.” 

Riggs was arrested on felony domestic violence charges.
