Sparrow declined the supplies and asked for drugs, and when the victim replied that she didn't have any drugs, Sparrow picked up a BB gun and demanded that the victim leave, the sheriff's office said.
When the victim did not immediately leave, Sparrow shot her three times in the arm and once in the thigh with the BB gun, authorities said.
The victim wasn't seriously injured, and Sparrow was later taken into custody and admitted to the shooting, officials said.
