Police say a night out at Lone Star Oyster Bar took a sharp turn into “Lubbock Relationship Bingo” when 20-year-old Million Sepeda allegedly elbowed his partner in the lip, got jealous over interactions with “other males,” and then pointed a gun at the victim and a witness back at the apartment. Because nothing says romance like a Taurus pistol and a threat to vacate the premises.
When officers showed up, Sepeda was strolling out of the apartment carrying property that apparently belonged to the victim — which is definitely the kind of thing innocent people do right before insisting absolutely nothing happened. Also missing? The gun. Also unsurprising? His refusal to let police search for the gun. Again, textbook Lubbock.
But the real plot twist came when police found an e-cig on him loaded with THC. So on top of the felony assault charges, he gets a bonus prize: a possession charge big enough to make your average Texas DA salivate. Total bond: $65,000, which, let’s be real, is probably less than the average Lubbock homebuyer waives in inspection fees.
Sepeda, still insisting everything was fine and everyone’s exaggerating, remains in custody at the Lubbock County Detention Center. The firearm? Still nowhere to be found. The jealousy? Extremely present. The bar tab? Almost certainly not worth it.
At this point, should Lone Star Oyster Bar just install a metal detector… or a relationship counselor?
