BATON ROUGE — East Baton Rouge Parish deputies have arrested a woman accused of shooting a car with two people inside.

According to deputies, they were called to investigate a shooting along Fontainebleau Drive on Aug. 10. Deputies learned that a man went to Fontainebleau to pick up another person who had been in an altercation with 44-year-old Stephanie Sharp.

As the man and the other person were leaving Fontainebleau Drive, Sharp allegedly fired three shots at their vehicle. Two of them hit the car, according to an arrest affidavit. After finding spent bullet casings at the scene, deputies took Sharp into custody.

The affidavit says she admitted to firing at the car to scare the driver. After the shooting, Sharp allegedly gave the gun to someone else and told them to hide it. 

Sharp was convicted of drug offenses in 2017, barring her from possessing a gun. 

Early Wednesday morning, Sharp was booked on two counts of attempted first-degree murder, as well as one count each of obstruction of justice, aggravated criminal damage to property and possession of a firearm by a person convicted of a felony.
