Man accused of pointing gun outside Myrtle Beach bar

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - A scary scene last month outside a popular Myrtle Beach bar led to the arrest of two men.

Myrtle Beach police were called around 2 a.m. on April 22 to Ole Shillelagh Sports & Raw Bar off South Kings Highway. Officers were told a man pointed a gun at customers outside of the bar.

At the scene, they learned two men from the incident had driven away and headed toward Sixth Avenue South from Yaupon Drive.

An officer went to stop the truck the two men were in, and the suspects tried to run away, according to a police report. Police told the suspects to get back in the vehicle, and that’s when Austin Cumbie, 26, was detained.

The second suspect, Montez Graham, 22, was detained after peeing in the middle of the road, the report states. A search of Graham led to the recovery of a firearm with an “obliterated” serial number, police said.

A witness identified the man who pointed the gun as Cumbie and said he threatened another employee, according to an arrest warrant.

Cumbie is charged with pointing and presenting firearms at a person and public disorderly/public intoxication. He was booked in Horry County but was later taken to the Georgetown County Detention Center on a failure to appear charge. He remains in that jail.

Graham is charged with sale or delivery of pistol to, and possession by, certain persons unlawful, public defecation or urination and public disorderly/public intoxication. He was booked in the J. Reuben Long Detention Center and has since been released.
