State drops charges against barber accused of shooting arrows

Update: Prosecutors declined to file formal charges in this case citing insufficient evidence due to lack of a cooperating victim or witness. The owner of a Florida barbershop is accused of using his crossbow to fire arrows into the business of a rival barbershop. Jorge Rivera Rodriguez was recently arrested and booked into jail under suspicion of shooting a missile into a dwelling and criminal mischief. According to court records, Rodriguez is accused of shooting arrows into the business twice in December 2025. Both times, arrows were recovered at the scene.  In January 2026, no objects were found, but there were reports of a loud sound followed by shattered glass. According to the arrest report, it's alleged that a barber who previously worked for Rodriguez left and went to work for the competing barber, creating some sort of animosity between Rodriguez and the business. Detectives said Rodriguez's distinct orange truck was spotted in several surveillance videos.
