Sanford police arrested McLain on July 3 and Harrington on July 2, according to eCourts. The shootings stem from an incident around 1:55 a.m. outside Schooly's Bar and Billiards in the 100 block of East Trade Street, according to a previous Sanford Herald report.

Garcia-Sanchez was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He posted a $100,000 bond on June 9.

He has charges pending in Lee County for carrying a concealed weapon and resisting a public officer stemming from May 22, 2024. He also has charges pending in Cumberland County for expired tag and an equipment violation stemming from April 7, 2025.

He was also convicted of carrying a concealed gun in Lee County stemming from May 28, 2023 and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and a $688 fine, which as of July 11 he had not paid.
