According to the arrest report, deputies were called to a Enterprise Way residence at approximately 10:19 a.m. in reference to a domestic battery. The victim and her three boys ages 11, 10 and 6 were evacuated from the home by an arriving sheriff’s office sergeant. The victim told police the man threw a glass at her, and then pointed a shotgun within 10 inches of her head.

The man was inside and refused to come outside. Officers attempted to speak with him from the residence but he would not come out. He spoke nonsense both to dispatch and to officers. It was decided that since the victims were safe, the officers would leave to de-escalate the situation.

At 1:45 p.m. the suspect contacted 911 at which time he stated he needed to file a report. He advised that a person known to him had come to the front door and demanded $30 that was owed to him. The suspect said he did not have the $30 and told police the man kicked the door and said he would be back.

Officers responded to the original location and the man came out on his own accord. Deputies could not find evidence of where the door was kicked. He was placed under arrest at 1:49 p.m. for one count of domestic battery and assault with a deadly weapon, both felonies. During the investigation, it was determined the man fired a round into the ceiling of the home. The shotgun was recovered.

The man resisted arrest and once inside the patrol car, pounded his forehead on the plexiglass. He continued his violent behavior all the way into the jail, kicking, pounding and demanding his release, the report states. Bail: $24,126.
