ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A 51-year-old woman yelling "Go Gators" during Florida's victory over Alabama in the Southeastern Conference championship game had a gun pointed at her by a convicted felon who entered her apartment after he misunderstood the cheering for racial slurs, Orange County sheriff's deputies said.

Bruce Cooper, 30, was arrested on charges of armed burglary with a firearm, carrying a concealed firearm, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and aggravated assault with a firearm.

According to the Orange County Sheriff's Office, Cooper entered the woman's home through an unlocked or open door at about 5 p.m. in the Kingswood Apartments, located on Lee Road, and pointed a gun at her.

The woman and others inside the apartment told the man to leave, and he eventually complied, said deputies, who found Cooper behind the woman's apartment with a .22-caliber six-shot revolver in his back pocket.

2. I will what ever I want in my home.

Wow... yelling at the TV can get you shot.. and who's business is it if they were racial slurs (she said they weren't)? This guy is lucky he didn't get shot.

3. a convicted felon (multiple coke charges) with a gun breaks in an apt

because the resident is yelling at the tv?

Sounds like he needs some more jail time and rehab perhaps.

4. He was probably a 'Bama fan who was tripping.

He should have aimed at the Tide's defense. They couldn't
deal with Tebow even without Harvin.
