Austin M. Powell,Ronald T. Fowler

Austin M. Powell, 19, of Melbourne, and Ronald T. Fowler, 20, of Satellite Beach, were being held at the Indialantic Police Deparment, awaiting booking and transfer to the county jail, Det. Mike Connor told Local 6 News partner Florida Today.
Both are being charged with possession of methamphetamine, Connor said.
Fowler also is being charged with possession of a firearm by a person who, under the Brady Law, can't possess a firearm because he has a domestic violence injunction, Connor said. Fowler also is being charged with discharging a firearm in a municipality. Fowler is being held without bond, and Powell has a $2,000 bond.
A juvenile teenage girl was charged with two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia, Connor said. She was booked and released to her parents.
A man staying at the Beach House Motel, 405 N. State Road A1A, called police about 7:30 a.m. to report shots fired from a third-floor balcony.
Indialantic police arrived shortly after the call and arrested the threesome. They also found a spent shell casing and methamphetamines on a counter in the room, Connor said. Police said they also found a .357 magnum Ruger revolver.
Apparently they had been partying the night before with some other guests at the hotel when a fight broke out, Connor said. Guests saw someone jump off the balcony onto the roof of an adjacent hotel and run but didn't call police, he said. On Wednesday morning, a guest heard a shot fired and thought it was a firecracker, he said.
When a second shot was fired 15 minutes later, they called police.
