The Mariposa County Sheriff's Office says 31-year-old Quentin Gelhaus is now facing several charges, including attempted murder.
They say around 11 pm Sunday, Gelhaus and two friends were at a bar in Mariposa when there was an argument with employees.
Workers asked him to leave, and authorities say less than a minute after exiting the building, Gelhaus pulled out a gun and shot through the door several times.
Officials say the bullets entered the bar where several customers were still inside.
No one was seriously injured.
A woman who was with Gelhaus tried to stop him but was unsuccessful.
After the group left, Gelhaus crashed his vehicle into an embankment.
Authorities found a gun inside the vehicle.
Gelhaus was arrested and booked into jail.
