ORLANDO, Fla. - A Florida man was arrested Thursday evening, 10
days after he allegedly shot up a home after one of its
residents complained about an experience at a restaurant, the
Orange County Sheriff's Office said.
On Aug. 20, deputies were called to a home after Norman Auvil,
42, of Orlando -- riding in an SUV driven by Michael Johnson,
the restaurant owner's son -- shot the home three times before
Johnson drove away, according to an arrest report.

The report said one of the bullets pierced a window, narrowly
missing the head of Kenneth Walley, who was watching television
in the living room.
I actually could feel the air from the bullet as it passed by
me," Walley said. "It missed me by about 4 inches."
On Aug. 19, Walley's wife, Diana Walley, had been denied service
at the Daybreak Diner, so their daughter, Monica Walley, called
the diner and spoke with several workers about her mother's
visit, the report said.
Monica Walley said that she left a negative review on Facebook
after her disabled mother was denied service on her birthday.
She said the restaurant workers were "unnecessarily rude."
"It's my right to be able to tell others what my experience is
and what happened and stand up for my mother," Monica Walley
said. "I think that anybody in my shoes would have done the same
thing."
According to the report, Monica Walley was unsatisfied with the
diner's response, so she launched a social media campaign
against the diner, alleging that they mistreated her mother
because of a disability.
"The social media campaign resulted in negative online reviews,
negative social media posts and harassing and angry phone calls
to the restaurant," the report said. "The restaurant's owner,
Lizabeth Johnson, later stated she felt that day that her
business was ruined as a result of the negative social media
campaign."
Investigators said that Michael Johnson and his girlfriend,
Stephanie Knight, worked at the diner that they intended to
inherit someday.
The report said Knight and Michael Johnson had been driving a
2013 white Ford Flex registered to Knight's father. The SUV
matched the description of the one recorded by a surveillance
camera approaching the shooting scene, the report said.
Investigators said Michael Johnson and Jesse Martin told them
that on Aug. 20, they were drinking beer with Auvil at the home
where they all live.
Deputies said the men were angry about the damage to the diner's
reputation and the negative social media campaign, so Martin
used an internet search engine to determine Monica Walley's
identity from her Facebook post and to find her address.
"(Michael) Johnson drove the white Ford Flex while Martin
navigated from the back passenger seat and Auvil rode in the
front passenger seat," the report said. "(Michael) Johnson and
Martin contend they drove to the Walley residence with the
intent to harm someone (via physical fight) or to cause property
damage (slashing tires or similar vandalism)."
Deputies said Auvil fired the shots when Michael Johnson stopped
outside the home. Investigators said the men tried to dispose of
the evidence after Michael Johnson drove away.
Auvil was arrested Thursday at South Bumby Avenue and Nancy
Street, near the Lake Como home where the three men live,
deputies said.
Detectives said Auvil expressed loyalty to Michael Johnson and
Knight and said he had drunk six to eight beers with his friends
while discussing the issue and before going for a ride with
Michael Johnson and Martin.
Investigators said that although Auvil wouldn't discuss his
involvement in the incident, he told them that he understands
that it "looked bad" for him.
Auvil, who was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army, said he
drinks beer "most days," investigators said.
"Both Martin and (Michael) Johnson expressed concern for their
safety and stated they had witnessed or been subjected to
violent outbursts by Auvil in their residence," the report said.
Auvil was arrested on charges of shooting into an occupied
dwelling, shooting from a vehicle within 1,000 feet of a person
and abuse of a disabled adult.
"I didn't think anybody was crazy enough to do something like
this over something so small," Monica Walley said.
Next time you leave a bad review maybe the owner will sue your
bitchy ass and destroy you financially.
