Police said Seiler then took out a gun and began firing, but no one was hit by the gunfire.
He drove off after the fight, according to police, and officers worked to locate him until he was arrested in Georgia over a week later on multiple unrelated charges.
He was held in Georgia before being extradited to Volusia County Jail on Wednesday, according to the jail website.
He is facing charges of aggravated battery and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He is being held on a $260,000 bond.
Police also arrested Brittany Seiler, whom they believe was in the car when the fight happened, a few days after it occurred. She has since bonded out of jail.
