Alabama fan arrested after firing shotgun at neighbor's house following Tide's loss to Tennessee, per report

Alabama fans love the Crimson Tide and, quite frankly, aren’t used to having to watch their favorite team lose.

So, that can make dealing with a tough loss like Saturday’s 52-49 defeat against Tennessee difficult for some fans.

Per WAFF 48, an Alabama fan in Florence, Alabama, was arrested on Saturday night after firing a shotgun at his neighbor’s house following an argument about the game:

According to the Florence Police Department, Ricky Franks Jr. allegedly had been involved in an argument with his neighbor about the Alabama game Saturday. Franks Jr. then allegedly left the neighbor’s home following a verbal argument and fired a shotgun at the home.

The house was hit but no one inside was injured in the shooting. Officers with the Florence Police Department responded to the incident and arrested Franks Jr. without any further incident.

Franks has been released on bond, per the report.
