A man is facing charges after he allegedly fired shots at several Broward Sheriff's Office deputies late Thursday night in Pompano Beach.

Deputies arrived at the Valero gas station located off North Federal Highway around 10 p.m. after receiving a 911 call from an employee saying that a customer walked in with a gun.

The employee said the man, later identified as 34-year-old Justin Crawford, appeared to be frightened and may have been on drugs.

Crawford began shooting at deputies before he was eventually taken into custody without incident. BSO deputies reportedly did not return fire due to the amount of people in the area.

No deputies were injured.

Crawford was later booked into jail on multiple attempted murder charges. He was being held without bond Friday, and attorney information wasn't available.
