A Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy has found himself locked up and on the wrong side of the bars after he pulled a gun in a bar.
Authorities said that Deputy Oscar Maturana,35, pulled a gun on a security officer and customers at Lake Worth night club and threatened to “bust a cap” in them.

The sheriff’s department reports say that Maturana was with another man at the club early Sunday morning when the other man got into a fight inside the club.
When club security guards tried to break up the fight Maturana allegedly intervened and pulled his gun.
Palm Beach deputies arrived before the two could flee the scene and determined through interviewing witnesses including the security officers that a serious felony had occurred and Maturana and the other man was taken into custody and arrested.
Maturana was being held on $100,000 bail.
He was also placed on administrative leave while the agency’s Internal Affairs unit conducts an investigation.
